I think i let down a nice lady who said my determination to run was something to the effect of inspirational. today was supposed to be a hard day and as you can see i accomplished only 1 hard mile. i was going to do 6 x 1 mile hard. i would say six mile repeats but then it sounds like i'm running intervals that are six miles a piece and i tell you what, i may daily run more miles than most americans do in a week, but i don't run that much. anyway, about half way or two-thirds into my first repeat i felt the sluggish-ness hit that i'm not supposed to get until about repeat 4. sooo, i wussed out and decided that since i'm "trying to build speed and endurance this week" i'd be better suited to do so if i could really push hard. likely excuse, i know. i just tried to reason through my laziness, but it makes me feel better. at any rate, i sought out some soft-ish ground and ran easy miles. hard miles tomorrow, which may mean that i could miss running with the guys up here. would have been the first time in months. they already think i'm a flake. this won't help |
