morning - 15 DogTown/Parkway Tempo/Chuckwalla. Took Twix out first for 3 miles. Then dropped her off and headed to the top of the Parkway for a tempo. I felt so crappy, flat and heavy going into it... and it was all true. Mile one was the slowest I have hit it in the 4 tempos I've done this month at 6:05, then 5:54, 6:03, and then it got ugly on 4 (but I promised myself I would push through no matter what) and it was 6:35. I then figured since I was sucking big time anyway, might as well push the distance a bit more and have something to build on next week. So did another .5 at 6:44 pace. Ahh... what a junker. Got home just in time to drive over to the trail to run with the team. I was way too tired to stay with them, though, and I was on my own most of the time. 15 miles, though, that's a lot for me.
