Married, working, training. While my wife has nixed all future attempts to grow glorious mustaches, she has been supportive of my crazy running dreams. Life is good.
Not great, but more controlled than last week. My legs and body are still tired from the increase in intensity, and I spend a good long while icing my legs afterward to make sure things stay the way they should.

After going through 3 laps with my teammates in 72/lap pace, I started to fall off very quickly. I slowed to 4:50 through 16 and ran the last two miles of my race in 5:20 pace.
This was as fast as I could run, and this shouldn't happen. I've been taking iron, but I think I'm going to get my blood tested Monday anyway. I've run much better races than this on less training, and I'm extremely frustrated. I have no explanation.
