ORN: This morning's weather was nearly perfect for this time of year -- around 67° and 72% humidity. I sweat but just barely. There was even a cool breeze to help me in the recoveries as I did a 4x800 interval workout. My total for the day was 4.5 miles in 43'52". My target pace was 3'47", and I was close, as you can see below:
- 3'59"
- 3'55"
- 3'53"
- 4'02" <-- pooped!
Over the weekend, I traveled to Columbus, Ohio for the Origins Game Fair, which is a large gathering of gamer nerds and me. Wifey, my friends, and I were the only cool people there. Honest. OK, well, at least we weren't dressed up in costumes. Or furries. I had every intention of getting up Saturday morning and running 13 miles, but I was in such sleep debt from the week before, I felt that I had to sleep in. And then I slept in on Sunday too. So I failed to do my long run last weekend. A bad start to marathon training.
It's bad because I am in a slight mental rut as my program gets started. Usually, I start a plan excited and then run into a wall after 12 weeks or so. Starting off in a funk seems like I might be headed for trouble.
