So hard to get going.   Went to vasa.  Kim Carli Jane and summer ran 9 outside.   Worked last two days and too cold to be tired and cold so ran inside.  1/4.   Then 3/4 mile.  Then a 1/4 mile.  Br break.  The others still hadnt left outside.  They were in br. Lol.  Ran 1/2 mile and another half.  Then on a roll ran three miles in a row. So at 5. Br break again.  Decided some speed work would help some miles go by faster.  So did two miles on -2 decline  and 8.8 mph.   Ended at 13:37.  6:48.48 pace.    then ran a half mile of hills.  Then another half mile of hills.  Then ran another two miles -1.5 percent decline.  13:36 for the two.   6:48 even pace.     Picked it up last minute plus.   So now at 10 miles.  Walked incline for 1/4 mile.  Ran another mile slow.  So 11.  Then another.  Then another hill mile.   3 percent incline.  Then ended with 7:28 mile.  8 mph til last min. 14 miles.

Felt very crummy.  Migraine in middle of night.   Nausea and achy and headache all day.  Moved slowly.    It was mixed with depressive thoughts   Reminded me of morning sickness.  Anyway plugged through day.  Got Christmas tree down.  Brooke helped with ornaments and boxes to basement.  I tied up all the tree limbs. She helped take them down.   We got a few more things done for her mission.   Just needs gloves and sweats.

2 warm up.   10 x 90 seconds at zone 4.  Not feeling it at all so had to go slower.  Seemed like tm was not calibrated well. More effort than usual to warm up and do speed work.  9.1/9.2/9.3/9.4/9.5 for each.  Repeat.   Two min jog in between.  Well I did 39 seconds standing rest. And 90 second jog.   Before last four I took water break for two min and no jog and started right up.  Did. Two.  Then longer rest finished last two.

2.5 easy.  Couod not do speed work.  So depressed.   Like head literally can't think my body to producing happy transmissions.  Nothing. Zilch. Nada.  Diet ?   Idk.  Getting old. Yes.   So I couod not do the scheduled speed they all did yesterday. 2.5 min on /off x 8.  It was just too hard mentally to move myself.  So I did 30 sec hills on /off x 8. Then two more than quit bc that was hurting my head too.  8 mph. 8 incline.   No adrenaline at all.  Bc I felt so bad before leaving I took a lexapro.  Been off for months.   So time to get back on.   Here's hoping.   Cause this sucks the life out of me.
