Drove back from Vegas at 330 pm Utah time yesterday.  Stopped in Cedar City for dinner and gas.  Arrived home at 945 (picked up our dog at grandpas).   I can still feel the car tires spinning with the movement in my head.  So getting on the TM was like a double whammy.  Just felt dizzy.  Heartrate higher than normal after ONE 800.  Knew this wasn't going to be the day.  I just couldn't focus on the mill.  STIMULATION overload after Vegas trip. Flashy billboards and 7 soccer games.  Just a little much for my brain.  And RUNNING is mostly MENTAL.  So despite the fact (other than heartrate) that my legs FELT awesome when I awoke I could not get my head in the game.  So just did 4 x 800s with 0.25 rest in betweeen.  1 and 2 at 6:15 pace (9.6mph), 3 and 4 at 6:10 pace (9.7mph),  Recovery at 8:34 pace 1 % .  SW at 0 percent.  ONE QUESTION I have is I think the TM I was on was faster than it was saying...it would hit a half mile at 3:00 minutes (6:00 pace) rather than 3:05 to 3:07 for 6:10 and 6:15 paces.    I watched it closely.  Decided not to think about it too much....but after upper body, core and some leg work with weights I got back on for my last two miles and ZOOM.   It felt pretty fast at 7.1 mph.  Who knows.  I think I am just dizzy from the driving.  I feel dizzy right now.   AP  7:41 for 10 miles.

Driving sometimes does that to me, too. Way to switch out the workout and still get in some fast miles. I'm pretty sure your treadmill was a bit dizzier than you.. Weird. Oh, and nice run!
