Schedule for Monday, Week -14 = OFF.
Schedule for Tuesday, Week -14 = 3 miles.
Well, now this was tricky. I needed a rest from my long run on Sunday, but no way was I going to take a recovery day on Monday; I wanted to make up the 3 miles I missed on Sunday from postponing my long Saturday run and screwing up my schedule (again).
Actual for Monday, Week -14 = 2.7 in 28:10.
Actual for Tuesday, Week -14 = 2.7 in 26:23.
Good GOD, I was slow on Monday. Tired from the weekend, (still) dehydrated, and sore from my long run, I went through the motions but didn't try to push it. This morning, once I woke up after the first mile, I made myself push it a bit more. I had been trying to get under 26 (wasn't I doing this in under 25 a few months ago?!?), but to no avail. Aside from feeling tired and a wee bit run down, I always feel invigorated when I return home to get ready for work, especially when I've pushed myself. And at 6:30 AM on 5 hours of sleep, it's pushing myself.
Coming up next = 5 miles (2-3 at race pace).
Ugh. I've already decided that this is going to have to happen in the morning before work because, otherwise, there is a high likelihood of me backing out after dinner. Besides, the after-dinner schedule is already filling up. So, off to bed I go. Going to have to get up a wee bit earlier to eat a little something and head out for that run. Maybe someday I'll be fast enough so that I won't have to wake up so early to squeeze in 5 miles before work...At least I'm trying, right?
