I was going to run my 8 this morning, but a 3 am phne call that led to me having to drive to seminary put my plans on hold. I could have gotten ready and run at 3:45 am, but i just decided I'd rather sleep another hour or so and run after work.
It's my last speed workout 4 miles @ 8:25 with 800m rests in between, warm & cool down. My race is in 2 1/2 weeks. Yikes.
My problem is coming this week end. I have a 20 miler scheduled 2 weeks before ther race, and it's going to be freezing rain & sleet all day saturday w/ a high of 30. What am I supposed to do?
I ran 15 last week, but I ran 20 miles both weeks previously. Am I going to be ruining my chances for success if I don't do this 20 on Sat? I'm thinking I can maybe run on Sunday morning before church if I have to. Stupid weather.
Got my 8 in. The faster paces went okay, and I was able to keep it above the 8:25. Around mile 5, my watch started beeping like crazy because the laps section was full...it didn't keep track of my times after that, but for the last pace section I left it on so I could hear the "your'e too slow warning." I only heard it once for my last speed mile, so I'm sure I kept it in the range. After that, I turned the watch off for the last 1.5 miles of cool down. I know the distance was good, and the time didn't matter. I was just sick of listening to the beep beep beep. |
