Today I woke up not feeling the greatest with a headache and feeling
weak. This kind of started yesterday. But I got up and ran anyway,
and I'm glad I did. I ran 3 warm-up miles and at the 2.5 mark I just
felt weak, but after that my legs started getting in gear. I ran to the track to do some speed work. I ran 6 x 400's and 1 x 1600. 400's 1. 68 2 69 3. 68 4. 69 5. 75 I
didn't get the last one. My 1600 that I ran was just at a comfortable
pace (5:51). I could have pushed harder but I decided to make it a
tempo mile. I was amazed at my 400's for not feeling the greatest.
I'm still feeling a little weak, and I'm not sure if I want to run on
my lunch hour for 4 miles or not? My next marathon is on November 4th
so I don't want to burn myself out. But I'm leaning on running because
I just feel the need to do so. Friday I will do my long run of 13
miles, because Saturday I will be pacing my daughter in her 5 k race,
so running my long run on Saturday is out of the question with too many
other things going on. Totals for this mornings run: 9.51 miles at an overall 6:31 pace in 1:02 Lunch: I couldn't pass a lunch run outside because the day was beautiful and I wanted more miles in for this week. I ran 4.42 miles at a 7:09 pace. (last mile 6:46).
