6 recovery miles at o'dark thirty in the morning.

The training plan calls for a second 4 mile run this afternoon, but my body is telling me to rest.  I feel fatiqued, like I'm fighting a cold or something.  I binged on a 1/2 box of lemon cookies from the Girl Scouts.  I figure all that artificial lemony goodness should fix what ever ails me, right?  They're from the Girl Scouts, so they've got to be good.  Mmmmm..... natural and artificial flavor....  They even have "TBHQ for freshness!"

2.75 warm up. Intervals- 5x.75miles at 5k pace w/ 2.5 min recover.  3.5 cool down.

6:15, 169bpm

6:06, 172bpm

6:14, 170bpm

6:11, 167bpm

I pushed hard to keep these on pace (pace variations might be due to the breeze) and they weren't pretty.  But I felt worse after I finished.  I think it is this cold I'm fighting.  I least I guess I have a cold.... some sort of malaise anyway.

This morning I felt tired and thought about skipping this run but in the afternoon felt better.  So I ran after work.  I kept an ez pace.  Felt OK during and good after the run.  8:24, 134bpm ave.

10 EZ.  7:56, 140 bpm ave.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a recovery day but a friend and I are going to run the last 16ish miles of the trail marathon I'm planning on.  So I'm thinking I'll switch days and run EZ on the weekend.

Ran the second half of the BST Marathon with a friend who knows the course.  Ye gads it goes straight up a mountain at what will be mile 22+.  And of course what goes up must come down.  That down will be just as painful.

You'd  think I'd be able to find an hour for a short run....  Tomorrow.
