5:30 am
I was able to get up and get out but I never felt any mojo. I ran to the West High track and tried to get warmed up. Its cold. I need to go to the bathroom. I am feeling slow and tired. Weak self finally won and I went back to the house to go to the bathroom That did me in. 23:35 total. It was 6:00 and my wife and son were already up. I took care of Colin for a bit and then just crashed for 45 minutes before getting ready for work. I am an 8 hour guy - if I get up at 5:30, I need to get to sleep by 9:30. Its hard to wind down by then.
Also, I have some workouts in my schedule that I don't think fit in very well. I may need to adjust rather than continuing to postpone and change things on the fly. I will try to do something at lunch but I haven't decided what. With Ragnar coming up tomorrow, not sure how hard I should push.
Lunch
Did my Wasatch out and back. Warm up 2 in 14 minutes then 80 seconds hard and 55 secons easy (but not slow). I ended up doing 13 of these for a total of 4.5 miles at 6:18 pace (I didn't look at my watch or do splits but hard averaged about 5:35 and easy averaged about 7:40). Then cooled down 2.3 at a 7:30 pace. Warm and cool were more brisk than usual. 59:39 total with 600+ ft of climb. Started in the low 60s but warmed up quickly to 70.
Crocs gave me their first blister a day before Ragnar :( |
