AM: 2 WU 2x 2 mile on the trail. 2 CD. (10:37, 11:16)....obviously the first was a little fast. ran 5:26, 5:11 true miles. Fell apart in the second rep as usual. another bad workout. I'm just not in the same shape I was back in the spring. I have no idea as to what reason except that I am no longer doing high mileage and killer long runs. Who knows, maybe I have to really train hard in order to race half way decently. I do know that I need to let Doug and Greg go and just train at my own pace. I used to be able to keep up with them last spring but that's just hurting me now. In the long run not getting quality workouts in is going to hurt me. I'm afraid because I don't know how I fell out of shape...coach says I'm overthinking it and I'll be paranoid and race poorly if I don't have confidence as a result of constantly questioning my training instead of just relaxing. I do know I'm going to be racing and I'll see how it goes in July. I had dreams of ripping off 5Ks at sub 5:00 pace last spring, but this dream isn't panning out so well this summer.
PM: 1hr. 10min pool run
