Today I wasn't real motivated to get out and run for a few reasons. One: I stayed up after midnight for the third straight night and finish my final web project for my College course (I can got to bed early tonight!!!!!!!). Two: My mind my body was tired from the late nights and a lot of work put in for this conversion at work. Three: I can't remember when I've been so depressed that I can't run the Ogden Marathon, it's put me in a sad,"feel sorry for myself" mood. I think this is the biggest reason of all that I was unmotivated. But I quickly got over my immature attitude and headed out the door. Even though I was tired and lacked energy, I decided to stick to my training and do 6 yasso 800's but instead of jogging 800m's between each one I experimented and only did 400m's between each one. I wanted to see what I could do with a tired body and make it tough, because this what's going to make a difference in a marathon The splits are not impressive, but I guess not bad for a tired body. 1. 2:54 2. 3:01 3. 2:56 4. 2:58 5. 2:55 6. 2:54 Then I did some running afterwards, and ran a few marathon pace miles. I will have to get my Garmin to get the rest of the statistics for the run. I used my stopwatch for the track splits and my Garmin for the overall run. Total 10.01 miles. I also ran and walk 2 miles with my wife, dog and the kids. Just kind of a fun run.
