Notes	OBJECTIVE 1.5M WU 3x1000m @ 6:46/mi. w/3 min. active recoveries 1.5M CD ACHIEVED Failure! ... on many levels ... This didn't go well. First, I didn't really have the workout clearly established in my mind. Somehow in the early morning mental haze I couldn't figure out how many laps 1 kilometer was. Duh! But before I even got to that, before even setting out, I pulled out the Garmin 205 and pre-programmed the workout. Therefore, I wouldn't need to be thinking ... at all. I eased over to the track. Felt fine over the 2.4 miles. Go ready. Hit the lap key and set out. Checked my watch. Was going way too fast. Tried to back it off some. Then started a whole lot of ridiculous confusion (oxygen depletion ???) about whether 1000 meters was 1 1/2 laps or 2 1/2 laps. It seems so crazy now that it was even an issue. All the while I'm trekking around the track too fast. After 1 1/2 laps, checked watch. Kept wondering why it wasn't giving the lap indicator to rest. Finally at 800, I convinced myself the watch was malfunctioning. After all I did have trouble with it last week, after pulling it out of year-long storage. Leaned against the fence and messed with watch. Could see I ran 800 meters at 6:19 pace. Too fast! Decided to reset the whole workout and "start over" with the preprogrammed routine. Skipped through the warm up and first interval then took the 3 minute active rest with a slow jog around the track. By now, I figured out the folly with my math. Yes, 1000 meters is 2 1/2 laps. There was never anything wrong with the watch. I simply had another 200 meters to go. Frustrated and embarassed. Second interval goes 1000 meters at 6:42 pace. Seemed harder than it should. Took some walking time during active recovery. Third interval goes 1000 meters at 6:45 pace. Had to hurry a bit at the end to "make the goal pace". Some more walk/jog active recovering. Decided I'd do a final 1000 since the first was really the wrong distance and pace. Coming up on 400 meters, strained right quad. For a split second thought about "gutting it out". Decided that was enough for today and shut it down. Grabbed shirt, reflectors and water bottle then headed to the road for the 2.4 miles back home. Fully intended to take an easy pace back but after about 6 steps, it was clear right quad wasn't going to cooperate. So, enjoyed a nice walk home. Kept telling myself, "These things happen." Problem is that some (all ?) was self-inflicted. Note to self: DON'T RUN DUMB! Know your workout then execute your workout.
