Fah-Tigue!!

RUN: 90 mins 10 miles
XFIT: 12 mins of 10-9-8-7-etc... burpees, crunches, box jumps

I slept in! I missed my alarm at 4:10am and didn't hear it until 4:15! OMG! haha As I woke up and went downstairs, I comforted myself with the reminder that tomorrow I get to sleep in. Tomorrow is my Day Off! So that made it all easier.

The roughness in my voice is much worse today. What was a hoarse voice last night is now a quiet whisper. My throat is sore, but that's it. Infectious? Or a result of the coffee burn? We'll see. Either way, I'm tired. I hurt. And I love it.

My right calf still hurts from the cramps yesterday, so I briefly considered keeping this as a short run. No success. I did 31 mins 3.4 miles ahead of the group, focusing on the new running form. Love that too. It's not so easy at first to go slow z1/z2 with that method but I think the reason for that is because it just takes more focus. Then I did the main FP loop with JP, who is a strong runner herself and today I noticed her high cadence. I tried to match it. Some success.

The new running form fell off as the run progressed. Right around 1hr 10 mins my left foot started to hurt. Apparently I don't have the orthotic properly aligned in the new Brooks. So PAIN. I tried distracting myself with other pain, like rubbing the raw skin from a scrape on the side of my hand into some salt on my face. No success. Suck it up, finish the run. Cuz I knew that once I quit running it would quit hurting.

JP and I kept a good pace, we finished with 6.6 miles in 59 mins or so. I've been concerned about running the half mary in CE in 2 weeks, but I think this shows my base is doing OK. Just need to find a pace I can hold.

The Xfit sounded worse that it was. Granted 10 burpees in a row aint easy, but it was only 12 mins. If I had eaten anything more than a gel beforehand, I might have tossed it after this! I've never puked after a workout, I'm still waiting on that one.

I recovered OK from the session, I'm off until Saturday morning now. And I think I could sleep for most of that time!
