11 miles up to the north freeway exit and back with some wandering on the side streets here and there. 46 degrees but rainy and breezy so just a touch chilly. Off to Eugene today so hopefully more miles tonight.
PM: 11 miles with an attempt at some speed work. Ran 4 miles from the hotel to Sheldon HS for some 1k repeats around the track. Goal was (as always) to run consistent times. My stomach, right hip, and body in general felt like junk. The wind was brutal in the hometretch and got worse throught to run. Springtime weather...
Anyway, I was shooting for 5 repeats but had to call it quits after 4. I just felt like trash; dizzy and light headed during the rest periods, close to losing my lunch during the intervals, right hip pain and I just wasn't having fun. No sense in pushing through it and ending up in a bad place. Splits were 3:12, 3:05, 3:08, 3:07. Ran a couple more miles on the astroturf football field very slowly, then jogged to Subway for dinner and finally back to the hotel. You win some and lose some... |
