Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
4.25	2.50	6.75

The SW that should have never been. Was UNbelievably wiped out. Chronic fatigue attack hit Monday am. Could barely move around. Headache throbbing from lack of sleep. My shoulders felt heavy and I was not interested in eating. Just plain exhausted. Watched the Boston Marathon and even that failed to liven me. At 1pm I made my way out into the searing heat and "tried" my 3 by 2000 meters (1.25 miles). First warmed up for just over three and ran my goal of 6:15 to 6:20 at 6:19 for the first one. Feeling ever so headachy I "attempted" the second one that started uphill. That hurt me and then I had a stop light to stop at or get hit by a school bus and a car turning right but looking left I had to avoid. Frustrating hurtful 2000m. Managed a 6:32 for the 1.25. Gave up on the last one. The combination of 70 miles last week, working nights with no good sleep, new shoes and the heat was the first clue of NOT doing today's workout. But I am not one to give up when I really should even if it would benefit me. Not good. I currently have a huge atypical migraine of numbness, burning and tingling on the left side of my head, face down my arm to my left foot. Lovely. Nothing I haven't been thru many a time but very nerve wracking to say the least and no pun intended. I think I will have a lazy few days off and attempt a VERY LONG run Thursday before my next two nights in a row.

Take care of yourself! I'm glad you bagged the workout--your body was telling you something! Still, it's amazing that you mustered up a few fast 2000's anyway. Just think what you can do when you are strong and motivated! Watch out competition!

hang in there julie. it won't hurt to ease off training a bit, especially when your body is asking for it. you are obviously in tremendous shape right now, and you are reaching a nice peak for ogden. recovery is just as important as the work itself!
