The Curse Continues
For as long as I can remember, I have never been able to have a good workout of mile intervals. I don't know what it is, but I can never do the pace that I'm supposed to do. I can do that pace for two mile intervals, but not for miles. I guess that it could be something that these are supposed to be a staple workout, according to so-called experts. For that reason, there always seems to be some extra stress when the schedule calls for miles.
The workout tonight called for 4 x 1600 with an 800 jog. This afternoon, J called me and told me just to get through it tonight. Ideally, he thinks that the miles should be under 6:00. Given other workouts of late, right around 6 seemed to be reasonable. Tonight simply was not my night. We are all allowed to have bad workouts every now and then, and tonight was definitely one of my bad workout nights. I don't want to dwell on it too much; the workout is done, it wasn't all that bad (well, #4 was pretty bad), and it's time to move on.
It isn't worth getting discouraged that the workout wasn't how I wanted it to be. I have been sick and coughing all day. My nose is still running, hopefully it will stop soon. I had to miss my breakfast, but for a good reason. I got the stiches out from my dental work, so now I can eat again! As the workout went on, the typical signs of not eating enough did show up. I was getting weeble wobbly, my tell all signal of needing sugar now.
This morning I did get my usual Thursday morning run in. It wasn't too good either, my stomach was not happy. I had to take two stops to make sure it would make it back home. At least tomorrow is Friday and I can eat almost normally again...
