Tempo Tuesday...
There once was a boy who got up early and met his buddies for a tempo run. He wanted to run strong. He felt like things were moving in the right direction. But... his morning turned out to be a total train wreck. It was CRAZY muggy and that might just be this boy's kryptonite. The warm up felt hard. The first mile or so of the tempo the breathing was way too hard. And by mile 4 it was over. He tried to keep battling all the way through mile 8 but effort was hard and splits were ugly. The other boys ran away down the dark trail and this boy had to run all by himself... It was sad. Just totally cramped up. Made some hammer fizz drink before the run. But forgot to drink it. That could have helped. IDK. Hopefully next time turnes out better.
143.5 lbs after. Did sweat my butt off and dropped the weight back down.
2.2 more miles on the treadmill this afternoon. Just enough to get a sweat going. Then weights and hip stuff.
