Today was rough and I need to write it down so I can move on. We got 2 miles warm up then the workout was 5 laps at 3K pace, 3 laps mile pace, and 2 laps... all out. We had lots of rest between which was nice but the workout took a really long time for just 2 miles. The first one I ran 5:09. Was supposed to be 5:05-5:08. I hit lap 4 and my body was just drained. My legs and arms were so tired. The next one, I got gapped by everyone (they went out fast and I didn't follow) and was way behind and stuggling to focus. I was 3:03. The last one I ran 1:53 and finished towards the back. I was beat. I had a hard time focusing today and believing I can run fast. I have a hard time when we do short, fast because I don't run that fast pace.... ever. I was really frustrated.
Finished to 9 in the morning and did 4 later. Miles are a little lower this week. Hopefully that will help me be ready for Thursday track workout.
