ACHIEVED
Three-way failure!

1. Didn't run this workout yesterday because I felt like I tried rest.
2. Wasn't "feelin' it" when I woke up this morning.
3. Ran a sluggish warm-up mile then launched into the tempo. 7:22 pace felt way too fast!
4. After a mile, decided to salvage the workout by at least doing mile repeats with .15 mile walking recoveries.
5. After only 4 repeats at this slow-for-repeat-pace, I had NO energy; nothing left to give.
6. Walked a bit then decided, "Well, I can at least get the planned miles for the day." So started easing it home.
7. That wasn't working either.
8. Walked home 2 miles.

I have no idea what happened today.

Maybe I'm a little short on sleep but I shouldn't be in much of a deficit.
Maybe my nutrition the past couple days has been a little light. But I eat fruit for breakfast and salmon for lunch yesterday, soup for a late lunch and a simple quesadilla a couple hours before bed. That doesn't even include 3 snacks throughout the day. I wouldn't that was perfect fueling but I highly doubt I was "on an empty tank".
Maybe the weather simply got me this morning.
Maybe the impromptu hard mile I did Wednesday night was still "on my legs" and/or did more damage than I realized.

I simply don't know ....
