Full Moon Speedwork

RUN 1hr and 6.6 miles, as 4x1200 at goal of 6 mins per 1200
COMMUTE 6 miles

#1 7:29m/m 140bpm
#2 7:17m/m 148bpm
#3 8:07m/m 152bpm
#4 8:22m/m 151bpm

I ran the last two backwards. Garmin says first two were 0.84 miles and the last two were 0.75 miles.

This was another one of those days in which I didn't think I'd be able to maintain much of anything, but was then surprised when it was all said and done. My legs were tired and heavy, and my tummy was felling full and heavy. For the first 20 mins, I stood around talking more than running! To the point that T from the other group asked if full body stretches were imminent. HA!

I learned about The Eurekan today: Friday sprint tri, Saturday 100 mi ride, and Sunday 10K. All for $130!! That's my kinda weekend :)

Mark this workout as one that was a good lesson learned. No matter how tired you feel, you can overcome it. I'm beginning to think fatigue is mostly a mental state, that the scripting in your head can play a huge role in what you can do that day. Today I learned that tired heavy legs can still run 8 min miles!
