I thought that I would hit the track today since I have had two rest days. I figured I would feel pretty good. I warmed up 3.5 miles. I decided on 4 x 1 mile repeats with 400 m recovery. The goal was to make it through all four. I think mile repeats are one of the hardest mental workouts for some reason. I got poured on during the last one. I thought I could hit around 5:45. I ran 5:44, 5:43, 5:40, 5:38. I didn't get a very long cooldown. I'm hoping to go run a few more miles later, but it might not happen with the continued family reunion. We'll see. |
