yep, 4.  that's all I got, my legs are sore.  I am taking it easy for a couple more days and then maybe I can reattack that failed tempo on Wednesday.

75F, 76%.  7:23 AP.  5.5 warmup, then 3.5 at MP.  felt terrible.  Then a mile easy, and one more at MP.  That felt terrible too.  In a rut...

77F, 62%.  7:46 AP.  No intervals this morning, after an 8-week streak.  I felt like walking just after 3 miles of warmup so I knew it wouldn't work out.  Ran to the trailer park by the lake and took it easy instead.  After passing "Sewer Lagoon," I saw a tiny baby skunk walking around.  He was cute enough that I was almost not scared of him.  Almost.  Then a baby goat came running after me.  Interesting wildlife they have down there.  In the last mile, I did a few sprints.

I have not been on the blog for more than maybe 10 minutes total this whole week, due to work, but I will catch up with everyone soon.  Just when I thought I finally had a reasonable 8-5 job...

79F, 8:18 AP.  Didn't feel like doing 6, so I did less, which was still more than I wanted to do, which was zero.  Maybe tomorrow will bring some more motivation.
