Thursday

This past Thursday I had the standard mile repeats. After averaging a solid 5:21 for the first few, I definitely mis-paced the last one, ending in 5:01. Now, that alone would have been enough to fry my body, I thought.

That evening, I decided to run a half marathon on the treadmill. 13.1 miles and go nowhere. I started easy and kept increasing the pace as the miles clocked in, and ended the last one with a solid 5:20. My treadmill goes to 12mph ( 5 min/mile), so it made for some fun sprints in the middle of the entire run.

Unfortunately, the 20 miles for the day really overcooked my body, and now I have a bit of a cold. Hoping that by tomorrow my body will be ready to rock and roll once again.
