AM: 3 to work and 3.2 around campus. Was especially hard getting up and
going this morning. Don't know if the 70mpw is finally catching up with
me mentally or all of the road running and running without company is
getting to me mentally. More likely it is the latter. I think I need a
monster workout to get me refocused. But it is hard doing the kind of
workout I need without company. I am going to do 4x5x400 w/100 between
400s and 400 between sets of 5 with the fast stuff at vo2max pace
(80-82sec for me). The question is should I do it on the indoor track,
on the treadmill, or outside? I think it is gonna be outside in the
morning tomorrow. This morning it was pretty cool actually. I almost
didn't take off my shirt after I dropped off my bag of work cloths at
the gym. It would have been a perfectly comfortable temperature with it
on, but between a little nipple chaffing and the thought of actually
feeling a bit cold during a run I went for it and it was great. Also
weighed in this morning at 162 so I think I am on the right track to
losing some weight this summer. I have only seen the other side of 160
since middle school once and that was earlier this year in a desperate
attempt to lose weight by nearly totally starving myself. I think that
the mileage and heat are finally doing their job. PM: same route. Toe didn't hurt at all today, but when I passively bend it I can feel that it is stiff. Hungry.
