AM- 3 easy. Did this out towards the double churches, my at home 3 miler route. It was nice and cool this morning at 6:40 ish. I can't really sleep that well lately....I tried to sleep in today but automatically woke up at 6:20. I felt a little sore this morning, but then I stretched and felt fine. I read a quote yesterday that I think I can apply to my running..."Struggling and suffering are the essence of a life worth living. If you're not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you're not demanding more from yourself -expanding and learning as you go -you're choosing a numb existence. You're denying yourself an extraordinary trip.” -Dean Karnazes. I think I am in my comfort zone...and I'll work to get out of it this afternoon!
PM- 4x2 min. (IT pace I believe) with 1 min rest. Then 5x400 (also at IT pace). The first 2 2 min. I kept up well with michael, but by the time the others came I was feeling the lack of sleep, food, and shrimp tearing through my stomach. I think the lack of sleep really affected me today. So, I think its something to be proud of...doing half-decent when you really don't have any juice in the legs and stomuch is so gasy. I think I expect to be right with michael instantly and I know that it's something I will progressively do better at, because I can't just catch up to someone instantly who has been working so hard for so long. I am going to try to stay with him as long as I can, and get better from there! I know that everyone has their bad days, so I'm just gonna shake it off and do better next time! I was so dead by the end I went home and just slept when my legs felt like they had nothing left and my body was just screaming sleep. Going to sleep more today and hopefully feel better tomorrow. |
