DC loop. Super somber run. Heart just hurt the entire run. Hate to say it but I'm really excited for the holiday season to be over. Just not very chipper this year. Oh and the hip hurt like he&& too. FML
P.M. 8.5 miles with a little 3x1 mile workout mixed in. Hit a 3.8 mile warm up around the big LV loop. The whole time my hip hurt like crazy and I kept talking myself out of doing a speed workout. But I just needed it. Mind is totally going crazy. So a good hard body pounding might numb the emotional drama. Decided to reopen the old LV mile track. Basically there's a 1.3 mile loop right around my house. So you run a mile hard then have .3 recovery or around 140 seconds give or take.
1. 5:05- Whoa... was not expecting that. Obviously my body isn't use to doing miles as my target speed was like 5:17-5:25ish. Next two might be crazy bad...
2. 5:05- Started to think my watch is messed up. As this is too fast but only one left maybe I'll finish a speed workout happy once in my life?
3. 5:08- A little slower but I relaxed way too much on the first quarter. Pretty happy to see something under 5:10 that's for sure.
Then just a 1.15 mile cool down back home. Didn't notice the hip durning the hard miles but it hurt on the cool down and kills now:( However if I can rally the troops and feel better in the hip tomorrow then I'll be really happy about this workout. If not then it's just another stupid thing I've done this week.
