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 ....

Tried new Mizuno Wave Rider 17's for this run. No, it's not a good idea to break out a pair of new shoes for a hard workout. But they were fine.

Went hard at the beginning of each interval then eased (or held on for the last two intervals).

In the end, felt pretty good out there this morning.

Prerun this seemed a little daunting but it ended up being okay. I had a hard time finding the pace ... pretty much throughout the run. I kept dropping down faster than my theoretical October marathon pace than had to back it off. The pace was manageable even in the 94% this morning so I'm going to take that as a good sign. I stopped at the top of Faulkey Gully for a restroom break, on Eldridge for an energy gel (planned water stop didn't pan out as the church was still locked), and at the wooden bridge coming back. More stops than I'd like but likely not fatal to the training effort of this run.

The gorilla hopped on my back for the last interval. Pleased that I toughed it out when presented with the "moment of decision".

Running in a different pair of new shoes today. Yesterday was unexpectedly selected to be a wear tester for an undisclosed brand and model. Shoes were good except they seemed hot for some reason.

Given how I felt Saturday, I'll happily take this one ... a slight struggle.

Pulled a pair of brand new Mizuno Wave Rider 14's out of the archives for their maiden voyage. I think it was at least 2 years ago that I bought a couple of pairs which I have never used yet.

18M @ 810-901

Right from the very beginning, this did not go well. Since I needed 18 miles and the group was generally going 15, I went downtown 30 minutes so I could start with an early loop of Memorial Park. At the outset, my stomach was churning and I felt heavy on my feet. I had been at a dinner party the night before which translated into bad eating and a late night. Was that the problem?

I joined the group and immediately fell back and was struggling to hold the pace. After struggling for 8 miles with the group, I had fallen off the back and simply cashed it in. I walked it in.

Beginning last Monday, I suffered an episode of salmonella poisoning from eating bad eggs that I prepared. It tore my insides up and I have been extremely week during the experience and slow to regain normalcy.

I am feeling like this training cycle is slipping away from me. Not good!

Notes OBJECTIVE
15M Progressive Run w/faster miles over last 7 and final mile at 7:22

It was hot and humid. Glad I made the drive downtown to run have my old group (which doesn't really look like my old group anymore). At the outset, there were 15 runners. Of course that fragmented early. We looped the park then met some late drop ins at the parking lot. From there, we went to the polo grounds then back to the parking lot to pick up others. I was feeling okay but it was very humid and it was getting warmer as the sun came up. Randy, Jeff, Augie and I went out. Jeff cut back before we got to Jackson Hill. At Jackson Hill, we crossed and came back up the bayou to the park. I didn't perfectly cutdown over the last 7 miles but the general trend was faster miles. When the final mile came up, I tried dropping the hammer even though I was quite fatigued. Covered the last mile in 7:16.

Happy to have completed this run. It was nice to renew old friendships.

Didn't feel like heading to the track today .... somehow road intervals seemed much more appealing. Of course, road intervals are made possible by today's GPS technology ... when operated correctly! For some reason, ever since I pulled my old Garmin 205 out of archives a few weeks ago, I haven't been able to use it optimally. This morning was no exception. The workout was setup up fine and everything was going swimmingly through the warm-up. At that point I stopped the watch to turn on the light. When I did, I turned the watch off. Beknowst to me, the workout resest when turned back on. Off I went for the first interval. When the watch didn't automatically "lap" after 1k, I knew I had a problem. Long, brain-teasing story later, I ended up clocking the entire workout manually, which, of course, does not yield the best results.

This was a tough workout. The first couple intervals went okay. The last couple, I was hanging on for dear life. I stayed on grass and kept the cool down really easy. I'll see how my legs feel tomorrow.

Notes DOWNGRADE!

Went to bed early last night so I'd be ready for this morning's intervals. Alas, I wasn't ready! A half mile into it, I decided to forego my trip to the track for intervals and instead just make this a recovery run. My legs are still trashed from the last long run.

16M Endurance Run

 

Summary

Name 16M Endurance Run
Location Houston, TX
Start Time 7/27/2014 6:23 AM (UTC-05:00) Category My Activities:Running
Distance 15.98 mi Time 02:14:06.0
Time Moving 02:14:06.0 Stopped 00:00:15.0
Average pace 08:23 min/mi Max. pace 07:14 min/mi
Weather Sunny; 78.9 °F
Notes OBJECTIVE
16M @ 810-901/mi.

This started out great. Felt good. Pace was better than expected. Very solid 12 miles. Last 4 miles became progressively more difficult and I was slowing. I took breaks at the top and bottom of Faulkey Gully Trail then again with a mile left. It had very quickly become a "tale of two runs"!

Drug myself in. Glad it's done. Once back at the Y, I noticed the temperature was 84°F. That had to be a contributing factor in how this run wrapped up!
