11 myles - 1.22:12

South Platte Pkwy - 2:00 P.M.
Nice - 67 degrees, South wind, clear
mind/body - hesitant/just blah
Hard effort

Prescribed workout: warm up/cool down 15 minutes each, 8 X 1 mile: 5:45-:50 2 min jog between

Actual workout: 11 myles 1.22:12; 24:56 warm up, 27:15 cool down, 4 X 1 mile (6:02, 5:48, 6:01, 5:52), 2 minute jog between

Well, there are good days and there are bad days - today was definitely a BAD day with a capital B! Myles 1 and 3 were straight into the wind so the 5:50 effort was there but the wind beat me down. I even struggled to hit 5:50 WITH the wind. I just did not have IT today! And as I sit here and type this I am beat. Not normal so something is going on. Hope tomorrow is better.

Just brush it off - those kind of days happen! If it makes you feel any better, I had one today and totally bailed on my workout. At least you did most of yours!

I can't wait to get to Cali where there is no wind and no altitude, though I always seem to get poison oak....
