My last speedwork. It must be a mental thing, but I think tapering messes with my head. I usually do 7 miles with speedwork, and it's all good. Today I was feeling tired after 2. I start wondering how I'm going to run the marathon when I am tired after 2. Aaarrrggghhh.
Terri, you'll be happy to know that the orange kitty I saw in the ditch last summer is still hanging around in the underbrush beside the road. I saw him again today, and knew you'd be happy to get some good news.
Got home, drove to seminary and found some missing stuff I'd left in the closet at church, then came home and did my P90X ab ripper x because that's what I do on Tuesday. Then I had some hot cocoa. Hooray.
Went on the track with my 3 co-workers and gave them a workout. We did 1 lap walk, 1 lap with bleachers- running inbetween sets of bleachers, 1 lap walk, 1 lap of run/walk (either 1/2 or 1/4 of the track, either way run 1/2 the track). Then we repeated it all and finished with 2 or 3 walking laps. I ran a couple of laps on the walk/run part, so between those and the bleacher run-betweens, I'm counting 1 mile of running. I walked the bleacher steps because I didn't want to stress my legs out on stairs this week. Maybe next week if I can walk.
