Keep Calm and Run On

4 temple hills. I felt o.k. doing these and 4 was enough.

Recovery miles

Fartlek of 5-3-2 with equal recovery. It felt hard but was a great workout. 

I was really tired today and have a VO2/lactate test tomorrow so I just did a few easy miles. I have a bad sore throat and really hoping I don't get sick. Hydrate. Sleep. 

A.M. I had the VO2 max test in the physiology lab. For this test, we ran on a treadmill starting at 10 mph and every 3 minutes speed was increased by .6 mph.  There was a cathetar in my arm and they took blood every 3 minutes and we had to wear the VO2 mask and go until we couldn't run anymore. Yay. My goal was 21 minutes and that's what I got. I only got 3 miles so I ran 2 cool down outside.

P.M. I ran another 6. I was really tired.   

I procrastincated my long run as long as I could today. I was in Salt Lake and had to run by myself but it turned out to be a great run. I wasn't as tired as I was yesterday and was able to run a solid pace. I averaged 7:23 but did have to push hard the last 3 miles. I was tired by the end but wanted to remind myself I can still do it.
