Today I just ran 5 because it was so late by the time we got back I didn't have time for a workout. I am so fatigued from this trip...I think I need a vacation from my vacation! We walked SO much and then running and really a huge change in diet (for the worse!) really took it's toll! Hopefully I can get back to eating healthy!

I ran the workout today...sort of. We had to pack and things so I didn't have time for a good enough warm and cool so I only went a mile on each. This workout sucked cause I was tired, it was extra humid/hot, i was malnourished, and hunter wasn't with me. I was trying to run well, but it just wasn't in me today. And it happens and I am just gonna accept that and do better next time. My 1600m equivalent was 5:42, 5:57, 5:56. They weren't really great times, but for how bad I felt...they actually were good. I will just rest up and do better next time!!

Went out to river trail and went 9 miles w/18 min tempo at 5:36 pace.  I was feeling the fatigue from my trip and mostly all the junk and stuff I ate (mostly cause I switched from high carb diet to high in protein, but switching back felt good today).  We started our tempo and I felt fine the first mile, just sticking behind mike and able.  Then, the next mile was about the same.  The half mile is when the fatigue and stuff hit me and I started to get out of the groove I had been in.  I fell off the pack a bit, but then I got back up right on coaches shoulder like he told me, but only for a few seconds cause then I fell off again but not as far maybe a few feet.  I caught up by the end though.  I thought this was a good workout considering how tired I was and if I can stay in there when I'm this tired I can do it any other day.

Did the Kosmin Test today instead of old man hills.  4x60 sec. all out with 3, 2, 1 min recovery.  It measures how fast you should get in the 1600m. I felt really slow and tight during this workout, but I ended up at the distance 1,448m about 3 meters short of Byron's.  So, we got the same projected time of 4:46 which is only 6 seconds slower than mike!  And if I can do that in the season I'll be good to go I think cause he will get some legit times this year.  So, for feeling so crappy, this was a good workout.

20 minLT...oh wait its stupid 15 minLT!  Accidentally read the workout for  next weekend and did it...stupid right?!  Well anyway, I warmed up a mile and then got going.  First mile of it was around 5:24, but then it started going a little up hill and I hit a wall and I probably averaged just above 6 min pace.  The last bit, around a 1.5, was good cause it was downhill it was 5:30 pace.  So, if it was the 15 LT I think I could've kept pace, but whatever.  I just need to push through my wall.  Also, it was hard cause I ate like 30 min beforehand so I felt like throwing up.
