I got up this morning still full of grrrr, but sore as well. I thought about sleeping in just 30 mins, but realized the only thing that was going to make me feel better was a good hard run.
Today's workout was 4 half mile sprints with 2 min recovery after each interval. I increased my rest to around 4 mins, 2 wasn't enough. And I figured the important part was running the half mile at a 12:30 pace. It was hard! I need to start eating something in the morning for more energy. I was talking myself through it, but on the 3rd sprint, I hit that wall....
Why are you doing this?!?
You're crazy!!!
Why the hell did you decide to run a marathon?!?!
Damn overachiever!!!!
But I got through it and that was the best feeling. Mind over matter. And we'll see. I don't think I'll have a good idea about my chances to finish under the 6.5 hr cap until about halfway. And if I'm not ready, well I'll run the half and then do Dallas Rock 'n' Roll.
The day was crazy as usual. I had veggie eggs and a banana for breakfast. Half a turkey sandwich for lunch with some nachos because the office had some tailgating themed snacks. I also got banana pudding that was full of oreos and topped with fruit, but I split that with Jenny and Ashley. Sharing is good, I enjoyed my portion and left it at that. Dinner was my other half sandwich and some check mix.
And this why I'm glad I avoided some food earlier in the week. Today I was brain dead and decided on some snacks, but I did not partake in happy hour or a dinner. I actually went shopping for organizing stuff so I could tackle my closet this weekend. I'm so ready to be organized!
Molly and I took a short walk, then it was shower and get in bed time. I'm not going to last too long, my entire body is exhausted. Can you believe this was only a 4 day week? Hello weekend!
