| | 7:30AM - Lovely run with Jordan, Rachael, and Frank. I learned that I am way out-of-shape for hill-climbing as they proceeded to dominate me in running their very hilly neighborhood. I must add in a hill workout every single week! TT: 58:20 AP: 9:42 Splits: 10:13, 10:06, 9:41, 9:54, 9:08, 9:16

FAIL. 7:00pm. I decided to attempt Yasso 800's for the first time for my speed workout this week. I'm not sure if the "I'm-going-to-throw-up" business is because I'm really out of speed-shape (which is at least partly true) or because it was too hot to run when I got home so I ate a big dinner before this workout, but regardless, I only was able to do 4 800's instead of the goal of 5, I had to walk for 3 minutes or so after the 4th, and then I quit before I got to the 5 mile mark. So overall failure! 800 goal is 3:45-3:50 so I also only met the goal 50% of the time. Oh well, I'll try again next week! TT: 41:03 AP: 8:51 800 Splits: 3:55, 3:49, 3:48, 3:51

| | AM - 45 minutes on the bike trainer while watching Teen Mom (I'm cool). I wanted to quit after 30 but I forced myself to finish the show! | |

| | PM - Great run with Jordanne at Cedar River. She left after 4.5 so I decided to see what a MP mile (goal=8:40) would feel like. It felt hard, not impossible but certainly not I could run 25 more of them or even 12 more of them, more like 10k pace hard. In my defense, it was 80 degrees or something, but I'm still out of shape. I have my work cut out for me! It was really difficult to monitor my pace but then I had a revelation about having the "average split" on the Garmin (vs. average overall, which is kind of worthless), that should be way more useful, so I need to try that!
1 MP mile: 8:46

AM - 45 minutes on the bike trainer while watching Project Runway. PM - 1.5 hours of yard work including mowing the lawn - I was more sweaty doing this than riding the bike this morning! | |

| | 8:30AM. The schedule said 10 but next week said 15 so I had ideas of switching the two since we'll be out of town next weekend. We went to a late movie (Planet of the Apes) last night (thanks for the free tickets Leandrea!) so I had a dilemma of choosing between my 8 hours of sleep or getting up early to beat the heat (supposed to be 90 today). I think I chose poorly, as at after 11.5 it was 10:30am, there was no more shade, and I just couldn't keep going. Left ankle bothersome in the first 4 miles as usual, wish it would freaking stop already. TT: 1:53:07 AP: 9:50 Splits: 10:16, 9:38, 9:57, 9:54, 9:41, 9:50, 9:37, 9:31, 9:55, 9:46, 10:00 |
