Today was another staple of the workouts....Well at least for the next several weeks. After that they get harder. Guess that's why it's PROGRESS! Things are actually progressing very well. You know that you've made progress when you have an 'off' day.....And you still run fast. And that's just what today was. An 'off' day. First off....I didn't sleep real well. The temps here in Tucson have been record highs the last couple of days, and yesterdays morning run was 63 degrees at 5am. Needless to say, I overdressed...I had gotten through that, but when I woke up this morning, my stomach wasn't feeling all that great. Not like sick, but just not right. I went out for the run with the group anyways. My split times were equivalent with 2 weeks ago and I altered between 1:18 and 1:19 on each of the 12 sets. I really think that I could have gone faster, but I didn't want to push my stomach to where I'd end up throwing up. That's not the goal of the workout.
Afterwords, I decided a good cool down with the group was in order, and for once I ran with them. I don't know, but that mile+ actually felt pretty good and I ran really relaxed. I noticed that we were actually going at a pretty nice 8:30 pace. It was kinda funny, because I started having flashbacks back to my military days. We were in two rows running in formation at one point. I should broke out into one of the Jody's....Now that would have woke a few people up...
When I got home, my stomach still didn't feel right, so I took a couple of Pepcid, and I have to report, that I actually feel pretty decent. Hungry...but decent. Tonight, I'm going to break out my bike and to some nice and easy spinning on the trainer. I'm sure the wife will just LOVE that....but hey....I need to start getting my legs in riding shape too so that I can ride into work a couple of times a week once my sons football season is over. Tomorrow it's going to be a nice and easy jog through the neighborhood. Thursday.......4 miles of 30seconds fast....30 seconds not as fast....Whatever that means... :)
Until then....Train Hard and LIVESTRONG!!!
