Chalk last night up as DNFLR -- Did Not Feel Like Running. Or remaining awake, for that matter. Got about three hours' sleep, dragged through work (which ran late), didn't get home until 7:30, wouldn't have finished running until after 9. Nope. Wasn't going there. So went to bed by 10 and slept -- hard.
Tonight, felt better. It's in the low 20 and falling right now, so back to the old friend the TM for a good hard 9-miler. Ran the first seven at MP + 10%, then put the hammer down for MP, or maybe even a little faster, for the last two. Wound up with a sub-8:30 average. I think this kind of run will reset the old central governor, if Tim Noakes is right, and get me ready for sub-8 and thus BQ.
Will do a light jog tomorrow night to sorta make up for DNFLR, then do 12 or so on the river Saturday morning, when hopefully it might even get above 25 degrees. |
