I did another recovery run today. Head cold is still pretty brutal, it has really zapped my energy in every aspect. My goal was to keep my pace at about a minute off my marathon goal pace, but I struggled.
My splits went as follows; 8:33, 8:41, 8:58, 8:34, 8:28, 8:46, 8:26 I then did a cool down of about a quarter mile total time was 1:00:33 for an average pace of 8:39. I am really tired and worn out, pretty weak. I wanted to do one more speed workout this week but I don't know if I have it in me, I might just have to take it easy the rest of the week or until I feel like I am getting better and getting my strength back. I will see what tomorrow brings hopefully I can get some rest tonight and get to feeling better. I think the run I did late in the afternoon yeasteday helped zapped my legs I don't think I had enough recovery time for this run this mourning's run.
I also did 25 minutes of very light upper body weight training.
