It was really warm and very windy today. Today I planned to do 3 x 8:00 at tempo pace with 3:00 recovery. I started out easy with a 2 mile warmup. I felt ok but a little tired. I stayed up late last night watching Butler almost knock off Duke so didn't get normal sleep. During the warmup I almost stepped on a snake that was laying in the road. I am not a big fan of snakes but stopped and scared it out of the road so it wouldn't get run over. About another 1/2 mile up the road I saw another snake that was as luckily. It had been smashed by a car. Must be the nice weather bringing out the snakes. After the warmup I started the tempo. During the first one I felt pretty good and was running around 6:20 pace. Toward the end my legs were feeling flat and tired. I did the 3:00 recovery then started the second one. I felt bad on this one from the beginning. I kept the pace around 6:20 but was having to push it pretty hard. I cut this one short at 5:00. I did another recovery and tired another. Still didn't feel good and cut that one short at 4:00. I am not sure what is up but I have nothing in my legs. I am not even breathing hard when I run these but I feel like I can't get my legs moving. I'm not sure what it is but is making running not much fun right now. 59:50 (7:29 avg)
