I forgot socks today and that was a big mistake. Now I have 3 blisters on the backs of my heels. Okay they're not that bad but one of them really hurts. Anyway, ran down to Liberty short way to the fountain, then over to the mile mark. We did a 3 x 2 mile threshold workout. On the first one I hit 5:58 (whoops), 12:24 (6:26). Second one Bill wanted me to slow it down the first mile to be more even but I didn't work hard enough in the second mile (I guess I naturally slow down there) and hit 6:10, 12:42 (6:32). The third I was really struggling mentally and did NOT want to do it. But Bill said to be mentally tough so I tried to be. Worked with Toph and was nice to have him there to keep me focused, fell off at about the 1.5 cause he sped up, I should've gone with him but it was hard. Splits were 6:12, 12:47 (6:35). It was a hard workout, I would have liked to be down in the 12:20s for all of them but I gave my best and that's what matters. It was kind of a rough day for me overall so I wasn't exactly in the best mood. Running it in trainers kind of sucked too. On the cool down was really when I started to feel my blisters, ouch. 11 miles for the day.
