I Can Do Hard Things

TT:1:14:29 AP:  9:19 HR:  159 - 57 degrees

TBT Class (5:00am) - I was really struggling where I wanted to run this workout. The track gives me anxiety, so I started to drive up to the MCT.  At the temple light, I told myself to get my big girl panties on and go to the track.  

I feel really good about this workout.  Physically and mentally.

Just trying to recover for Friday's big run.

TT:  1:55:10//AP:  8:53//HR:  158 - 43 degrees

We had a really hard family day yesterday, so I am mentally and physically exhausted. Plus Georgia asked me to take her to the 5:00am leg class at Kyle's and I can't say now when my kids want to hang out.  But I did say NO to next week.

I'm really pleased at that last 8:00mm during the last mile of the last 3 mile tempo (it was just out of the canyon up that big hill on the golf course).  I also hit the lap button during the last .5 sprint so it broke up the time.  I probably walked too much during those .25 mile recoveries.

My legs are toast.  I'm a bit worried about doing another big workout on Monday.  Depending on how I feel, we may need to push it to Tuesday.
