Did the tempo run at 5 a.m. this morning. I think my going to bed before 9:30 all week finally paid off this morning. I was feeling pretty good! The tempo run was actually pretty good this morning until about mile 4. We usually run the first mile together, slow, then 1 mile tempo, then 1 mile slow, then 2 miles tempo, then 1 mile slow home. By the second tempo part, my bowels were starting to get to me. Which really made me mad because I felt so good out there! It would come and go. While I felt great, I was cruising along, then it would hit me and I'd have to slow down. Very frustrating. Needless to say, I was glad when the run was over with this morning!! ;) Tomorrow is day off of running, but I'll do Jillian. Saturday, we are planning 16 miles. . . sheesh!!! |
