THOU SHALT BE A COMEBACK

Exhausted.  After yesterday's monster run I only got 4 hours of sleep before rolling into work all night.  My legs didn't feel bad but I wanted to go to bed so bad it hurt.  Hot and humid.  Watch died halfway through but I was rolling 8:30 to 8:40 pace pretty steadily/

Over 80 degrees and the sun was beating down by the time I started.  First mile repeat felt so terrible I almost pitched the workout--I could still feel the junk in my legs from this weekend.  I decided not to pitch it and just accept that my splits would be a little lousy--still good training stimulus.  Trying to run fast in the heat on wasted legs...what's not to love?  I am training for an ultra, so really, powering through on tired legs and wrestling with mental defeat is what it is all about.

2 mile warmup

6 x 1 mile with .25 recovery 6:44, 6:32, 6:25, 6:23, 6:28, 6:36. cooldown.

Off to the weightroom to keep my arms ripped...

Ran very easy. It was very hot

Refreshing zombie stagger between shifts in 98 degrees by Vanessa's school.  After dropping her off squeezed in 20 minutes legs at the Y before showering and rolling back to work for another night in paradise.

It was 104 degrees when I parked at Vanessa's school and headed out for 8 miles.  huge sweatfest.  I looped by my car about 3 miles in to hang my singlet on the side mirror because it was just too hot for a shirt.  When I came back it was gone.  Really?  my nasty sweaty singlet?  I think someone is just mad because I keep getting there early to run and take the best parking spot....lol.

Headed home with Vanessa and did 5 more ez on the treddy.  My butt and hips are pretty sore from the weights yesterday.

Northwest Y.  6:40 pace.  I spent time with Vanessa this morning, then dropped her off at a birthday party and had a little time to squeeze this in before showering and heading to an extra shift at work.

Next come TMI about woman stuff so if you are sensitive don't read on.

I had a really bad embarassing moment.  When I got off the treadmill and went into the locker room to shower it was then and only then that I realized my light grey shorts were soaked in blood.  This was unexpected and I can't believe I was on the treadmill for 80 minutes and nobody said anything to me about it....just finished up monthly business a few days ago so this was quite unexpected and untimely and not sure what that is all about.  I wasn't sure if I should go to work or go to the doctor.  Anywho, I seem to be fine now but seriously folks if you see a gal obliviously bleeding like a stuck pig in public please tell her!!
