Didn't run, rode instead

BIKE 20 miles in 1:123x TGP: 16:15, 16:14, 15:56!
BIKE COMMUTE 9.2 miles

Slept in until almost 6 am, even though I napped and went to bed early. Why so tired? I didn't get to the bike until almost 7. Plan was to ride 3x intervals in TGP steady, not fast. I finished 3 pretty quick intervals to my surprise! The first interval today was about the same time as Monday's third one.

And my new bike shoes feel OK, still some adjusting to the cleats. Move them back on the foot I think.

Not feeling good, and having lots of up/down thoughts about Hennepin. On one hand, I want to do it even if I miss the cut off or don't finish at all. I'd rather try and fail, than never try. And I'd rather fail the 100, instead of doing the 50 that I'm pretty sure I can finish. Can I?

My feet still hurt from the Badger, I'm tired, not eating real food, not back to running.

On the other hand, my motivation is really low and I have doubts about whether this is a good idea. What damage am I going to do, if my feet and hips and legs hurt after 100K, what will 100M feel like.

It will hurt. JFC already know that. I'm not going to look at whether I can transfer the bib or drop distances yet. I haven't given up. I want it, but I need to change the plan.

So I'm looking in to how to walk a 100M, see what I find.
