Slow and painful speed workout. I seriously would like to know where all my speed went, I can't find it....maybe it took a vacation with my motivation! Met BBK's for early warm-up, only 2.5 miles; but even the warm-up seemed a lot faster than usual. I checked once when I was running with the group and we were at an 8:30 - yeah, too fast for me, so I just hung out in the back of the group and trailed along at a nice 9-9:20. Then we did 4 yasso 800's on the track, each with a 400 recovery. 1st one was very sad at 4:11, the next was better at 4:01, didn't check the time on the 3rd, 4th came in at 3:50 - maybe I'm just not meant to run a BQ marathon....at least not with the way I felt this morning! Then we hit the road for a 2 mile tempo (I laugh at that...tempo, hahahaha!) then we rested a second got a drink and headed off for another 2 mile 'tempo'. It was all slow today for me. I couldn't finish the workout, because I needed to get home so my hubby could get to work, so I finished up with a cool down back to the track and a lap. Then I spent the time stretching and chatting with Becca. I guess I should've just finished the workout, because Craig was fine with me being late - some days are probably better than others to be 'late' to work :) I'm done for the day...hoping to get a nap and resolving to start eating better and taking vitamins again. I think the lack of sleep, no long miles on Saturdays, quad/shin injuries, eating like CRAP and just generally not taking care of my body has finally caught up with me. Here's to luring my speed and motivation back from vacation!! AP: 8:35 splits: 9:18, 9:16, 8:42, 8:40, 8:12, 7:56, 8:15, 8:29, 8:04, 8:59 -wow, okay 1st time I've seen the splits...where the heck did I pull that 7:56 out?? It would've been our first tempo...guess I was feeling a little better :)
