Weather - 75 degrees, sunny.
Did a track workout with 2nd Wind today. The clipboard called for 8 x 600m with the final 200m kicked end-of-race style. I cut the workout short, stopping at #5. I'm not sure why I stopped, my body felt fine, although maybe a bit low on energy. I think it was my mind getting tired of all the fast running. So my body got the last laugh, as it wanted to go, but the brain shut down. My times seemed ok, I was about 3-5 seconds behind a 17:30 5k runner for each : 2:04, 2:05, 2:05, 2:09, 2:07. The rest was a bit shorter than usual, about 3 minutes, which was sufficient.
I think having run a 7 mile race and 2 hard workouts in 5 days made my mind and will weaken. That is alright, sometimes it is good to back off and take it easy.
