All the more strange about Monday's run is the now-revealed fact that I was sick at the time! How a person catches a cold in the middle of summer I don't understand! I was tired beginning on Saturday and more so on Sunday. On Monday I woke up with a dry throat. None of this connected for me ... I was in the early stages of a cold. It was full on yesterday and I missed my scheduled run because of it.
Wasn't sure how today would go. My nutrition and rest have been poor because of how I'm feeling and my ability to breath has been altered since the cold is mostly in my sinuses and head.
Figured I'd go out today and try to get yesterday's 1-kilometer intervals in. If it wasn't happening I'd just shut it down. Getting started wasn't easy and I had concerns but after warming up and stretching, I let it rip and felt pretty good coming in ahead of targeted pace. I was able to hit the same pace over the second interval. Two down, two to go ... and it became a story of two separate workouts almost. The third interval was a tough one. I missed my targeted pace and felt pretty weak. Instead of jogging the rest period before the last interval, I walked ... hoping to catch my breath and pull it together. The final interval ended up much like the one before. It was tough and I didn't feel well. The pace was slightly slower than the one before. I walked for a couple minutes than cooled down over the road back home.
I'm glad I got it in even though it wasn't ideal. I've probably either set myself up to feel better today or for a relapse ....
