Notes

Felt fucking terrible today. Possibly the worst my legs have felt in a race since my first outdoor 5k of the spring. Had absolutely nothing today and felt taxed the entire race. Got out with an early lead because I was just in the open instead of racing all the college guys. Didn't even feel smooth hitting the mile in 4:57ish. No one was close the entire race and my splits kept getting worse. Not the race I was planning on today. Have to put it in the rear-view mirror and move on but I was figuring worst case scenario I could still pr. I definitely need more easy runs and more self-control on workouts. I've been trying to push too much the last few weeks and it finally caught up. Need to get back to my form of the late summer and get ready for November. Definitely a learning experience today.
