Had to do my hard workout in the morning because tonight is my friend's baby shower! Which also means I officially broke my sugar fast yesterday when tasting some of my creations. Workout was downward fartlek: 4 x 4 min/2 min ( half rests the whole workout), 4 x 3/1.5, 4 x 2/1, 4 x 1/30sec. I was so glad it was designed the way it was because I was still trashed from the Sunday 10k and I was wiped out by the time I hit the 2 minute bits. This is 40 min of hard workout, so i wanted 10k goal pace but also knew that goal pace now has to be faster than 3:40 since I just DID race at 3:40, so I cut myself some slack on the 4 min bits. I did 3:40 ave for the 4 min bits, 3:31 ave for the 3 min bits, 3:36 ave for the 2 min bits, and 3:30 ave for the 1 min bits. I guess it showed I was pooped by the 2 minute portion of the workout. Glad I stuck it out. 20.49k total 4.36 3.41 2.21 Then had parent teacher conferences from 10-12, then ran from my son's school to the Ma On Shan track to drop off a key I forgot to give back for locker use, then back to Tai Wai, so 9k noonish run. Then had parent teacher conferences at another son's school which I forgot about, and thus had to rush to in stinky running clothes. Then came home and finished getting ready for said party. Had to transport three boxes and one cooler in a taxi to the party. The party was lovely but I felt like an ulcer was burning in my tummy. Not sure if I didn't eat enough during the day to recover from the runs, or if the bad food disagreed with me. Better to stick with oatmeal and pb & banana sandwiches, my dietary staples.
