AM - 12.5 Fields. Seven mile tempo today. I knew it wasn't going to be great because I was still a bit sore from the downhill on Saturday (as well as tired from it) and also a bit worn from yesterday afternoon's run on the sun. Took Twix for just a couple and it was so slow. Could tell as James and I got started that it wasn't going to be good. First mile was over 6:00 (6:10 I think, as I write this days later). Then started to scratch out something and dropped them to high 5:50's for the next four. Mile 6 was tiring and I didn't really push the 2nd half and saw the time go back over 6:00, and then mile 7 was super weak. Shouldn't even call it part of the tempo. Drained. Have got to get tougher mentally when the tiredness and weakness hits. (Pace 44)
Nothing this afternoon as we were having the Desert Relays (a relay practice with the Hells; it was a lot of fun and the kids ran great).
