6.45	0.00	0.00	3.10	9.55

LM warmup (10 reps), 9.55 miles in 1:14:22, 7:47/mi, HR 158, w/ 3 mile warmup, 5 x 1K @ 5K/90 sec rest effort (3:31 - down, 3:36 - down, 3:47 - rolling, 3:46 - rolling, 3:51 - up), 3 mile cooldown. 1.25 mile walk w/ dogs, PU/SU/Leg ladder (7/7/4) & stretching.

Despite yesterday being an "off" day, legs are shot. Long hilly run + yesterday's yard work left me with some sore and tired legs. Maybe that'll be good training for late in the WR50, so I ran the 1K repeat workout anyway. Felt like dung but it didn't turn out too bad. The rest portion was done at a walk....otherwise I'm not sure I would've made it. Compared to last week's similar workout (longer rest), improved repeat times. Guess I'll call it good.

I never know whether I should do speed/strength work with tired or sore legs. Sounds like it wasn't fun - but successful.

Neither do I. In this case, I decided I definitely wasn't over-training given my less than rigorous training schedule of late and went for it. I seem to have come away without injuring myself and running faster times than the previous workout, so I guess I made the correct call. But it's really difficult to know what "right" is...
