I REALLY needed a good run this evening. Work was highly frustrating (an underling who acts completely unprofessionally and tries to undermine me, and I can't do a damn thing about her attitude, because I'm not her supervisor), and I needed to burn off a lot of steam. It took about eight miles to get me to stop cussing her and focusing on the run. The run itself was a standard Pfitz GA -- warm up slow for 3, go to MP plus 20% for 3.5, then up to MP plus 10% for 3.5. Took an hour-33-plus to do it. It was tough, but not horribly so, and my legs feel pretty good now, two hours later. Maybe the busted 5K on Saturday served as a springboard, or a motivator, because I've had good runs this week so far. The real test, though, will be that predawn 15 on Saturday. Which, by the way, will cap off a 45-mile week. Fortunately, it's supposed to cool off -- a little -- for the rest of the week. Doesn't mean it won't be 75 with high humidity at 5 a.m. Saturday, but at least it won't be 80 with high humidity. |
