AM: long run in St. Pete with the group. Anthony signed on for a 3x3mile workout with me within the run. It was not the best day for it as it was good ole Florida-level humid, but I'm happy I got the workout in. Started the workout at mile 5 with a mile running recovery in between each set. Splits: set 1- 5:57, 5:52, 5:51 set 2- 5:45, 5:52, 5:48 set 3- 5:55, 5:50, 5:55 Today was important. Before I even started today, I was tired, sore, and didn't think I would be successful. I had high mileage and effectively 3 workouts this week- 2 on the track, 1 on the bridges, so it was important to me psychologically going forward to get something like this in on tired legs. Although Boston is pretty much shot, I think I can build off this training cycle to propel myself into an awesome cycle for Chicago once I recover. |
