I started to do an interval workout at 2:00 in 85 degrees. I warmed up 5 minutes and then did 2 min fast/2 min recovery until I got to 3 miles (cumulative) and realized that I was feeling poopy. I didn't drink much today and it was hot. So I decided just to finish at a slower pace. I averaged 8:45 pace for the whole thing, but my last 2 miles were 9:30 avg. And then I felt like crap until dinner.
Revising plans for the rest of the week. No run tomorrow, since I'd have to run at the same time as today. Run early Friday and then Sat. run when I get to Michigan (maybe evening, depending on the temp). I haven't run 6 days a week in quite some time and I'd really like to this week. Plus I'd like to get over 30 miles this week so I can do more building mileage. I doubt I'll do more than 5 miles in Mich, since my whole family will be there and will try, in their evil way, to get me to skip running. Luckily my husband has become quite good at helping me create opportunities to run! I also found a race for June that I forgot about. It's a 7.1 mile trail run. I was looking at the results from last year, and there aren't that many women that run it. I'm going to sign up sometime tomorrow--who knows? Maybe I could be one of the fastest women.
