Felt much better today, but decided to just do a "regular" Sunday run as I have Wilke on Tuesday.

It was supposed to be cooler this morning....not sure what happened ;o).  Oh well it did actually get amonst cold on the jog back when it looked like a storm would be brewing, but sadly it was "nice and warm" for the hill portion of the workout.  Met at Robert E. Lee (REL), then onto Wilke.  7 direct assaults on the hill, then 3 backwards, and 3 sprints.  I think people cut the workout short as I was the last to finish.  While I'm no hill expert, I'm not that slow ;o).  Long job back to the gym as everyone still left was stopping at REL.  Oh well good stuff.

Tough run today.  I didn't feel good this morning so didn't run with the group.  Instead, I went back to bed and resolved to run after work.  It was tough, but I dragged myself out to 4 x 2Ks.  1 1/2 mile warm up, then 4 x 2Ks.  I went a little too fast on the first one (relative to where I am in the training plan), which meant that my legs had totally gone my #4.  However, I kept going, and pushed as hard as could.  Splits were 7:55, 8:03, 7:59 & 8:17 (yup legs had given up).  After that I jog (or should that be staggered) back to the house ;o).

I didn't feel great (allergies), didn't get enough sleep, and the conditions were tough BUT I made it round, and finally put in some semi-decent mileage for a week.
