LM warmup, 9.43 miles in 1:13:45, 7:49/mi, HR 154, w/ 2 mile warmup, 6 x Strides, 2 x Drills, 10 x 2 min on/off Fartleks, 2+ mile cooldown & stretching. Sunny and cool (53F). Wasn't really feeling it today. Trudged through the warmup and drills/strides and launched into the repeats. First 8 were uphill and labored.... (6:11-7:02/mi averages). Last 2 downhill ones felt easier, yet different....redlined but in a different way....both in 5:19/mi average. Cooldown was uninspired. Tired. Registered for 2011 Boston Marathon this morning. Only took 45 minutes of struggling with the registration page, before I discovered the default link was broken. Thank goodness someone on the Runner's World forums had already broken the code and posted the correct link. I'll try not to let it ruin the experience. |
