AM: Four Chad sightings, one run, beat that! Into work extra early. Set one
thing up and then out the door for a 4xmile workout. I was feeling very
sluggish and almost scrapped the workout but in the end decided this is when it
is time to build some character. Out to the FireHouse Mile and then start,
6:03. This one felt much harder than it should have. Then turned around for a ½
mile recovery (Chad sighting one). Then back around for mile two, 5:45. Felt a
little easier but this one has more downhill. Stopped for water (Chad sighting
two). I did another ½ mile recovery up City Creek and Chad continued on
powering up the hill as I turned around for another wimpy downhill. Mile three,
5:35. I was more or less done at this point. Did a full mile recovery so that I
wouldn’t have to do any of the final repeat going uphill. Last mile down
Gravity Hill (Chad sighting three). This hill seems like it should be downhill
but I was hurting and the effort felt harder than what the pace said, 6:10. I
little more recovery jog (Chad sighting four) and then cool down back to
campus. It was not a tough workout but it felt hard. It has been awhile since I’ve
done two workouts so close together (Sat/Tues). I have to get used to 2 or 3
quicker days a week again. Also, the fact of a house guest and truncated sleep
may have had something to do with it. Overall though I felt fine with the
effort. Mi 12-R1 Avg. 8:11 PM: No surprise but I'm a little tired this evening. Just an easy loop around home. Mi 4-R1 Avg. 9:14
