Decided against traveling to bedford tomorrow to race, too far to spend money on gas and the entry fee, my legs are too shot to run a great time this weekend. So tonight, I had the idea of seeing what I could bust a 2 mile all out run in, but after about 800 meters, I knew that wasn't in the cards. 5:16 on that mile, tried to then run another one after a mile cooldown, went through the 800 in 2:35, and stopped shortly afterwards. Got in about another 400 in, but this workout was in shambles. My body just quit on me. Its okay to have workouts like this once in a while, remind my to listen to my body. Not a real inspiring workout, but probably a smart move to take the weekend off from racing. Tentative goal is to get a long run in tomorrow, then take a 2-3 week cut back and throw down 2-3 fast 5ks, then take a week off and regroup before a BQ attempt in early fall. We'll see how it goes. |
