I'm turning into a case study of the negative impact of lack of sleep and high stress on training. My job is a disaster right now!

I felt fatigued at the outset this morning. My left ITB is quite balky too. Fortunately it seemed to loosen up a bit as the run progressed. I need to watch it closely and be sure to keep up the PT exercises for strengthening.

The mile intervals didn't come easy today. I felt like I was struggling to hold on the whole way. I cheated during the two-minute recoveries by walking or jogging very slowly rather than running at an easy recovery pace. I felt like I had to do it so I could get the intervals in and have them be meaningful. I know it defeats the training benefit of conditioning my body recover while on the move but that's just the way it had to be today.
