AM: Pretty spectacular fail for this morning's workout. Goal was 3 x 2 miles as close to "ideal lactate threshold" as possible, meaning a pace based on a recent race with adequate rest, which is about 5:50 or 5:51 for me. A little ambitious. So I figured 5:55 would be okay. 5:58 for the first mile, then things just got bad and I could barely run 6:30 and I was doubled over sucking air and dizzy when I cut the workout (very) short. About 68 degrees with saturated air. This is not an excuse, but it should have been an indication that I should have gone with a more sensible 6:10ish goal and see what happened from there. Trying to do to much, trying to push, push, push and I think it may have caught up to me. Or something else could be going on. Still plan to cut back this week. I'm just glad my arrogance was punished by a frustrating workout and not an injury. Afternoon off. Headed to Toledo for Megan's bother's wedding. Might run tomorrow, might not. Approaching 60 days and very few have been easy. Lots of racing and weekly mileage PRs.
Onward and upward.
PM: Off
