Not a good day.   I do not know what I was thinking but I thought I could meet at 5:15 and still get all my miles in - NOPE!   We warmed up and my legs are still very fatigued and I am getting frustrated.   We did a 2 mile tempo and then went to do Yasso 800's.   I did the first in 3:45 - to slow and the second in 3:43 - still to slow.  I had some tugging in my right knee so I left the track and went and ran 2 more miles on my own.

I am taking tomorrow off because I am traveling and going to sleep in until 5 am.   I am hoping that a day of rest will be what my legs need and I can get it back together for Thursday.  At this point I am not even sure what to expect for SGM.  I am not training the way I should and my legs are not recovering at all so I am trying to have a good attitude but if this continues it could be ugly.  I am not sure if I continue to push through and hope the taper is enough or do I try to rest this week and push the next two..........

Sorry things aren't feeling great for you. It's hard to know what to do at this point, isn't it?

I hope you enjoy sleeping all the way until 5 AM tomorrow morning!
