6.25 miles easy in 49:52, 7:59/mi, avg HR 149. Today was supposed to be 14 miles, 10 Steady State. Body was not willing to cooperate. Some serious work issues this week raised my stress level pretty significantly the last couple of days. Combined with the slog thru some serious (for these parts) snow on the ground the last couple of days and my body was just plain worn out. Thankfully, I realized it after one SS mile that took way too much effort and was slow to boot. Decided to bail on the scheduled workout and run tomorrows today. If I feel better tomorrow, I'll run the SS workout tomorrow and push my long run to Sunday, which will give me an easy day between harder efforts. If not, I'll likely just freelance tomorrow and get back on schedule Saturday. If I'm still pretty tired, I may try to convince myself just to take tomorrow off completely. Hopefully the work stress is coming to an end as I seem to have fixed the things that have been causing problems. Brooks Adrenaline (Yellow) - 216.25 miles. |
