COMMUTE 6 mile bike
This morning was beautiful. There was a light fog before sunrise that turned the sky a light pink color. The air seemed to glow this pretty shade of pink/red for a few moments before it turned to gray. The air temps were perfect too, that skin-temp temperature that is neither warm nor cool. And running in fog is just fun, everything looks different, the city smaller, the buildings obscured....just pretty! Oh and a very light almost not there rain fell :)
I'm still recovering from the 34 mile weekend, and starting off this run was tough. I knew that once I got moving I'd feel better, but it took a long time to feel better! The goal was step-downs: 2x1200, 2x800, 2x400 (400m). I had thought about doing 3x, but oh-no--2 was all I could do. We did a long 400m recovery of walk 100m, run 200m, then walk 100m for complete recovery. I needed it, after some intervals I thought I could puke.
I'm so grateful BE was there for the workout, he kept me moving. T & J had arrived early and were finished with the 200's workout right as I arrived. My legs felt dead, my body heavy, my mind unmotivated. Left alone, I would have done the workout but more sluggishly. So BE even though you're never likely to read this, thank you & I appreciate it! And I'm happy you're running again :)
