I went with Larry and Kent to the track again this morning. Again I did mile repeats while they did 1/4 mile repeats. My legs felt pretty sluggish this morning. Actually, I've felt tired pretty much since last Thursday when I took the day off to start cutting down the big dead tree in front of my house, which took me most of Thursday and Friday. Saturday was the parade, the 10K, then Stadium of Fire late into the evening. Sunday was hours of church meetings and clerking, then playing games with my family until late in the evening. It will be nice to get back to work so I can get a rest. Anyway, this morning I did three one mile repeats at 7:07, 7:14, and 6:59, then 1/2 mile @ 6:59/mi, the 1/4 mile @ 6:11/mi, the 1/8 mile @ 5:44/mi., with about 1/4 mile jog between each repeat. I'm not at the top of my game, but as awful as my legs felt this morning, and as little speed work and tempo runs as I've done this year, I'm satisfied. It felt good to push harder than normal. It helped to work out some of the frustration I'm still feeling from the mess up at the 10K Saturday.
