Intervals at the track, in the rain. Well, some of the warmup was in the rain. I went under the stands to stretch and by the time I finished, the rain had stopped. The legs were not up to 5K pace today; 10K pace was all I could manage, and even that was a struggle. I felt like I was going anaerobic to do that. But I ran 1600 repeats in 7:31, 7:29 and 7:27. Achilles started bothering me on the cooldown laps, in spite of my efforts to relax it, so I shut that down two laps early. Not a great workout, but I got it done. I attribute part of that to poor sleep last night, due in large part to iced tea consumption (moron!), and part to lousy nutrition. I gotta eat better for the next nine days. |
