3 mile warm up-4 mile tempo @mp (8:40-8:50)-4 minute test interval-2 miles @ HMP (8:20-8:30) -cooldown till hit 11 miles.

I slept in and waited till all my kids went to school. It would be sunny and I could see ice. Warm up was ok....breathing hard. 4 mile tempo was ok (8:55, 8:45, 8:46, 8:35).

I was planning on taking a GU during the 4 minute test, but just pulling it out of my pack made me nauseous. Skipped it.

HMP tempo flopped. I had NO energy or 2nd gear. I stopped, had a self pity moment and then just jogged home. I felt pretty down all day about the workout. Running isn’t super fun right.

40 minutes of weight training.
