Today's workout kicked my freakin' butt. Seriously, I was dying during it and still am. We did intervals today 4 x 1600 at 7:57 pace. We've done this one before and it was hard but we still managed to go faster than we were supposed to and felt good once it was done. I'm not sure if it is the lack of sleep I got earlier this week (thanks to work and kids) or the fact that my body is just tired at this point in the training.
We did our warm up and it felt just like always the first speed mile was ok we ended up right at 8:01 (fine by me) then recovered for a half mile. Second interval was killer and ended on an uphill (ugh) but we still finished it at 7:58. Third interval was right on target at 7:57, although we were faster than that until the slight uphill at the end of that one too. Then the fourth was just KILLER I had no energy left in me and my legs felt sooooo heavy. Of course we still ran it and were doing pretty good until Lola (Traci's dog) got caught on a mailbox then chased 2 bunnies which threw us off a little but we still managed to finish the mile in 8:10 so I am perfectly happy with the workout.
The hard part is just how tired I am right now. I didn't have much steam before I got up this morning and now I'm completely dragging. I got a diet coke was too early this morning and ate a huge breakfast of french toast so hopefully I'll feel better soon. :)
