Uh, yeah. That was a ridiculous struggle. I've been tired and stressed, possibly fighting off a cold, it was ridiculously nice out - so almost too hot, undercaffeinated. It was all I could do to keep myself moving forward at any pace, much less the pace I was aiming for. This was going to be for Kristina's virtual 10k Race for Paws, but this was just not what I wanted to do for that.
Total running: 21.35 miles

Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point - the intervals and tempo I did earlier in the week were quite a bit, and fairly intense for me, in a short time prior to attempting a 10k race effort-ish run! I have an actual race (5k) this week (tomorrow), and am being much more conscious of what I was doing intensity wise, to leave something in the tank for the race itself, even though it's not a goal race per se.
