Doing What I Can

easy 3.5 tonight. 26:35, 7:36 avg.

The idea today was to go 14 miles. Was completely exhausted after 12 so I stopped there. Beautiful weather, mid-60s...in november...just plain crazy, ran in a cut off and shorts. Felt pretty crappy throughout. took the first 6 miles to shake my legs out and even then didnt have much pop in them. splits:

1- 7:08.1

2- 702.8

3- 7:05.8

4- 7:19.6

5- 7:20.4

6- 7:03.5

7- 6:55.8

8- 6:45.4

9- 6:56.8

10- 7:28.2

11- 7:28.7

12- 7:23.9

TOTAL-- 1:25:59, 7:10 avg pace.

felt absolutely horrible today. Was gonna try for 6 but ended up stopping short. GI issues throughout, and legs felt like dead weight..not really sure what is goin on.

6x800 today. thought id see how much speed I have left. 2 min off between each 800. Splits:

1- 2:47.1

2- 2:44.5

3- 2:41.6

4- 2:45.6

5- 2:43.8

6- 2:50.6

Overall- 2:45 avg per 800, or 5:30 mi/pace

definitely going to ice bath here in a second, legs feeling pretty bad still. Probably a combo of weather change and an increase in mileage lately.

4 in the cold rain and wind today. Felt really sluggish as i had a decent workout yesterday and ice bathed afterward, should feel good for a hard workout tomorrow. ran the 4 in 32:10, so 7:32.5 avg pace.

wanted a decently 4-5 mile tempo, ended it after 2. was at 12:30, 6:15 avg, but just absolutely dead tired. No legs. Has been the case lately. taking tomorrow off and reassessing on monday. May be the end of the year for me. We'll see how I feel.
