I was tired and sore when I woke up this morning. I think that Monday's runs hammered me pretty good. I didn't even want to run this morning but forced myself out the door. I wanted to do a track workout, but I didn't think I would feel so trashed today. However, I knew that if I didn't do a workout that I wouldn't get one in the rest of the week. I haven't been to the track since I ran with the St. George running club over a month ago.
I slowly made my way down across town to the Logan High track, since the USU one is gated off (because the old people from Arizona over use the inside lanes). I warmed up with a couple of striders on the way down, they seemed to help loosen me up. I wanted to do 5x800 meters with 400 meter recoveries, but ended up changing things up since I felt so hammered. I did 4x800 meters with 400 recovery, 400 meters, and 3x200 with 200 meter recovery, and then I was done. My times were: 2:38, 2:37, 2:36, 2:30, 1:12, :33, :34, :32. I was glad that I was still able to run semi-normal times with being so tired and all. I had the same problem that Paul had on Monday, sloppy form. I was either too sloppy or would catch myself running too tight, but hopefully I worked a few bugs out. I cooled down to home, just over 2.5 miles. I need to start hitting the track every week and not just once a month from now on. I feel a lot better now then I did this morning before I ran. I must have just missed Paul and Cody. 1:08:34
