Whew-tough run! I ran 6 miles with 4 x 2-minute intervals at 3K pace (only 7:57 for me right now). I hit all the intervals, and was able to sustain the pace, which is really all that matters, right? The first mile was pretty slow, and I started the fartlek intervals after that. I ran 10:00 pace between intervals until the last one. I don't know what happened after that, but I slogged home with a 10:37 last mile-ouch! I guess the In n Out Burger for dinner last night didn't help!
My husband had troubles too. He had to take a bathroom break at the big Baptist church. We don't go to that church, so I'm sure they were thrilled to see a stinky, sweaty stranger using their bathroom! We rarely eat fast food. I was just so exhausted yesterday and craving In-n-Out. Maybe it's because I didn't have time for lunch yesterday....
I also did dynamic stretching before the run. I hope these little speed intervals pay off, because I'm sick of being slow for the rest of the time!
PM: chiropractic adjustment and massage. The massage therapist massaged my legs and glutes-it felt great! She told me my chakras indicated that I'm harboring feelings of betrayal and trust that have been around for a long time and suggested that maybe my first boyfriend broke my heart (not true). Wow! Either I have some serious issues, or I look WAY young-ha!
She also said my legs are more muscular than most-yeah!
