BBK run, brought George and Chad with me this morning. I think they enjoyed it :) 5K warm-up, good chad about the Boston Massacre yesterday with Chad. SO proud of all of you that ran it and took it down in that heat!! Any finish time was a good finish time - period! 5K tempo, this was my speedwork for the week in a final push for SL half. The first portion of the first mile recorded on the Garmin (I didn't reset it from the warm-up and then we did about a 1/4 mile add-on to let the 'slow group' get ahead so we could chase them to the finish) was 6:54, 2nd mile was 7:29 (hard uphill here, glad to see it was 7:30!!), 3rd mile 7:11 (downhill recovery from the uphill, I backed off a little in effort to recover some), then the last split was .4 of a mile to the finish and my AP was 6:41. How in the heck that happened I don't know. I honestly felt like I was burning out and slowing down! Chad came back and ran me in the last .15 and it was nice to have someone to pull me in. The next 5K I opted to go with the 'slow group' so I could do a recovery. I'd done my SW for the day and just wanted the miles now. My stomach revolted...nearly threw up. I don't know why I keep getting this 'sour stomach' thing, but it is getting annoying. I've never had GI/gut issues before and I'm sick of this...literally. I still kept a decent pace until the very end, but man, I need to figure this out and make it GO AWAY! Maybe I just need to eat in the morning? Added a half mile on the end to make it an even 10, stretched and came home. Another good BBK workout in the books! Now I'll go to spin and take baby to his swim class. Taper down now to Saturday... AP: 8:26 splits: 9:34, 8:33, 8:34, 7:51 (.7 of this was speed), 7:29, 7:11, 7:52 (.4 of this was speed), 8:41, 8:54, 9:40
