overtaking haynes

Decided to follow Daniels' training log and be a couple workouts behind Haynes. May not do all of them but probably at least try one of them a week. Felt kind a little nausea at work today, almost definitely from stress. Was looking forward to the track workout though. Went to the high school track which is a really beautiful setting. Ran 1.5 miles on the cross country trail which is gravel in the woods for warmup. Did 5x1mile (really 1600). Was shooting for 6:05 thinking it wouldn't be too difficult to run 90's but was I wrong! Ran 6:13, 6:12, 6:13, 6:17, 6:16 with about 1min 10sec rest in between. Felt chest pains and thought i was going to drop dead of a heart attack as early as the second mile. I thought someone would find me dead the next morning. I guess it was just a cramp or the too many pretzels i ate right before.

 I forgot how annoying the track can be after work, with the sun beaming down in your eyes on one side of the track and sweating profusely while having to close your eyes. The back side was cooler but it just felt hot and annoying. Will not wear my brooks beasts for any sort of track workout. wanted to save my old track shoes from wear but felt much too slow today.

I'm hoping my legs were just tired from the ~2h trail run yesterday and the 400 workout on sat. I was actually impressed i could hit 75's still. Didn't feel like i was going fast at all today but just couldn't move my legs even when i wanted to. I'll have to come back to this one to redeem myself.
