Today was another hard workout. We ran 3x1600 with 10 minutes recovery between each. The goal pace was 5:25 first one then 5:20 and sub 5:15. I didn't think it would be too bad but I was wrong. The first one, I already felt tired. The second one I helped pace but was hanging on. I was very light headed and could tell I was so under-activated. I felt like I could lay down in the middle on the repeat and fall asleep. I almost didn't finish but that is why I am grateful for a team. I hung on for dear life the last repeat just to finish. I didn't even look at the time, just ran to finish. I ran 5:24, 5:21 and 5:18. I could have cried for joy when we finished. I don't know why I felt exhausted today but I am making sure to keep taking my iron and getting enough sleep to hopefully bounce back. |
