Still Not Right

I'm on the bus this morning so I have a couple minutes to post .... I missed last Saturday's and Monday's posts but expect to have something up for them in the next couple of days. Work has been hectic but hopefully there's a break around the corner.

I'm still struggling with my running. My latest self-diagnosis is that I'm battling allergies. Today is the sixteenth day. Ever since I got back from Utah, I haven't been "right". I haven't been hitting any of my training targets and am generally fatigued. I've still made all my miles but fear most of them fall into the "junk" miles category. I haven't yet found a solution that provides much relief. I'm sure the work situation isn't helping.

I ran 8 miles this morning from the Y. The middle 5 were supposed to be a tempo run of 7:33. I started okay over 2 miles but faded and ended up at 8:16. Meaning it wasn't much of a tempo run and that I missed my pace by 43 seconds.

The frustration continues to mount ....
