I am dietarily integritous! (ok so I had one bite from my son's birthday cake he brought home from a bday party, but good diet integrity is intact with 98% compliance in my world). I am not going low carb like my husband Paul. On his diet, you have to watch your fruits, any grains at all, his dairy (yes dairy has carbs) etc. It is way too restrictive. I am on the eat right so I can run well diet, and I will eat low carb for dinner to support him. His diagnosis of hoshi moto's thyroid disorder has been revoked for now anyway, so who knows if he should even be on a low carb diet. They've suspended his thyroid meds due to excessive hyperthyroid, and they'll check his blood in a couple of weeks. He's like mystery man. Wow, rambling. Focus, M. I slept in, then did a .5 walk and stretching for a warm up, since today is a hard workout. I met up with Josse at Will's Pit Stop, and we started warming up toward the canyon. 25F. 2 mile warm up (8:43, 8:33). Plan was 3x2 mile tinman tempo (7:13 prescribed pace for perfect conditions), with 2 min rest in between. We ran up one mile, 180 turn, then down one mile for each set. So we went up the canyon for the first mile and down for the second. There was a headwind going into the canyon, so presumably a tailwind going down, though the tailwind isn't so obvious, of course. 1 - 7:23 up, 6:57 down, 14:20 total, 2:02 rest, 2 - 7:15 up, 6:53 down, 14:08 total (holding back on pace on #2 esp), 2:03 rest, 3 -7:20 up, 6:49 down (14:09 total) Josse tried to make me go fast on the last mile!!!! We were going way to fast half way through this mile, but managed to slow it down a bit. Cool down 2.25 (8:27, 7:58, 8:00 for last 1/4). Total run 10.58 in 7:48 ave pace feeling good. Going to do abs tonight.
