Ouch! Today's workout easily won a #1 or 2 spot on my "Top Ten Toughest Workouts" list. I almost cried. Still really sore and exhausted from the race and run last Saturday plus travel all day Sunday, I was tired 10 minutes into our 30-minute warmup. Then the fun part: 3x1600's at 5:44 GP w/4:00 rest, 10 minutes break, 8x400's at 1:12 GP w/full rest, 5 minutes break, then 2x600's at 1:51 GP w/2:00 rest. 

The 1600's went pretty well, we actually were under pace for all of them: 5:41, 5:43 and 5:43. All of the reps felt pretty tough, just feeling tired out. On to the 400's:  1:13, 1:11, 1:13, 1:13, 1:13, 1:13, 1:14 and 1:14. Aaargh! I was pushing so dang hard on all of these and those last two still slipped. Only halfway through them, my legs were completely jelly. By the time the 600's started, I was almost in tears, just because I was so spent! The 600's were questionable: 1:58 and 1:59. I'd say they should've been faster, but I had nothing left and even getting those times was an accomplishment. Heck, just finishing this @#&* workout was an accomplishment!

After, I ran home. Super slow. Then I drank away my sorrows... with Sprite!  (DS 74.8) (M spike 45)

An hour on the treadmill this morning (6 degrees is a bit too cold for me first thing in the morning). With a book, so I didn't get quite so bored. In the afternoon, I ran to weights, lifted, and walked home. Legs are way sore. And I'm exhausted. (K 385.5)

The usual warmup, then we did yet another speed workout: a 2000 @ GP 7:10, 4 minutes rest, then a 1600 @ GP 5:44. Then 10 minutes break, after which we did 2x800's at GP 2:36 w/3:00 rest. Then 5 minutes break and 2x300 untimed accelerations with ample rest. My times were: 7:09, 5:43, 2:38 and 2:37. A bit tough with my tired-out legs, but nowhere near as tough as Monday! Cooled down in the Laub. (DS 80.5) (M spike 48.7)

60 minutes around town, a bit tired but nothing terrible. Easy and relaxed. Weights after. (K 393.5)

Great run between classes this morning/afternoon. A bit cloudy out, but warmer than it's been in a while. Plus the rain last night cleaned up the air a lot, so it was really clear and beautiful out. Did 60 minutes with 3x5:00 pushes at about 6:30 pace, nice and easy. Guts gave me some trouble, but mostly, I'm feeling good. So far I've had an awesome birthday! (DS 88.3)

Just did the big Providence loop again for my long run this afternoon. The weather was so amazing and my music made me so happy and running just felt so GOOD! I was grinning almost the entire time. So great. I love days like this. (K 407.7)
