Kids started coughing yesterday, and this morning I woke up with a little bit of a sore throat. AM: 8.18 total. On my own for speed. I hate to do speed alone. I was going to do 3x2miles at threshold with 2 min rest, but between my little sore throat and my slow warm up I decided to cut it to 2x2 miles. I ran just over 2 miles then started into the workout at the mile 3 marker of the Speedy Spaniard, toward the rodeo complex. 1 - 11:55 (5:53, 6:01) Toward the end of the first mile, it looked like I was headed for 6:26 by my garmin and I was going to throw in the towel, but by the road markers it was 5:53, so I kept going. 2 - 12:33 (6:08, 6:25) Reversed directions to make it slightly uphill and into the wind (especially the second mile) So the first mile was about the same effort as the first two. Mile 4 was just a stinker and I obviously did poorly, so I'll count it as marathon pace. Overall I am not displeased since I was considering bagging the whole workout in the first mile. I tend to not do the best workouts inside the week of a race, so I'm just keeping consistent on that front :) I have been taking Zicam to try to not get a full-fledged cold. weight 123 ice bath. PM: I did a run in Orem with no watch and no idea how long the run was. I was praying it would be at least 3 miles, and it was 3.62 when I mapped it on the course tool. Then I went to Josse's house all sweaty so she could give me a sports massage. She worked me over real good :) Thanks Josse! My husband and kids are no longer going to St. George so that turns St. George into a PAR-TAY! (Well a party for masochists).
