AM: It took me forever to warm up this morning. I didn't feel like I was really moving until I was halfway through my workout. My goal is to front load this week, so I don't have to back off mileage. I'm racing on Saturday, but it's a really low key race. I'm mostly using it to get a downhill tempo. Still, I'm hoping to get a couple lighter days before Saturday.
I ran a 3 mile warm up, and then did a ladder fartlek at Valley Park. I ran 1-2-3-4-5-5-4-3-2-1 minute intervals, with 1-1-2-2-3-3-2-2-1-1 recovery. It wasn't until the last 3-2-1 that I felt like I was actually turning it over. Oh well. The point was to get a little speed, but still have a workout that I can recover from easier than I would from a track workout. I cooled down until I hit 12. I'm planning on a few evening miles tonight.
