Snow storm hit (within reason, just about 4 inches of snow, but a good amount of freezing rain). Decided to take the day off, mostly because I'm feeling run down. Slept almost 11 hours last night and was tired a good deal of the day. My middle child has had stomach flu since Saturday night, and I need to make sure I'm on my guard against it. I've also run 9 of the last 10 days, and having gone only 9 of the previous 17 before that. That's a touch of a big jump. All these things coming together leads me to believe that this is a good day for rest.
Given snow conditions and the possibility of no workout opportunity tomorrow (got over 9 inches of snow from last night through tonight) I decided to hit a TM workout before work tonight. Did a 7.1 mile run that included a 2 mile bout @ 6:15 followed by a .25 @ 10:00s. Also threw in 2 .25 mile stretches @ 5:45 with another .25 @ 10:00s following each one. The rest was @ 7:45s (3.85 miles). |
