I did not feel very well this morning. I haven't been sleeping very well the last few nights, and I think it caught up to me a bit today. I will have to make sure to take good care of myself through the day today, or tomorrow's tempo run will be painful.
My original plan was 12 miles, but I cut it to ten. I felt like I was struggling, and the pace was not fast. I'm glad that Devra came to run with me. It was nice to have the distraction of someone to talk to.
We ran out on the river trail to Gardner Village and back. I filled my daily protein intake through the amount of gnats that kept flying into my mouth. They were everywhere down there!
Despite feeling awful, I think we managed to finish in a 7:10 average pace. So, we definitely picked up some steam as we ran.
If I can just make it through this week, I get a nice easy one next week to prepare for the half. 3 more days! |
