Woke up this morning so pumped to run at the Oval, only to have my mom come into my room and tell me that we weren't going because of how much it had snowed. I look out my window, and holy fetch where did all that come from!? I was really dissapointed because I was feeling really good and I knew I was gonna run my very best. Atleast I will have one more chance this indoor season to run at the oval. Anyways, I went to the Sports Academy to go run because it was pretty nasty and slushy outside. I was planning for a real hard workout because I didn't race. Starting with a 1 mile warmup, then did 3 miles at tempo pace with the incline at 2 for the first mile of that 3 mile set. Finished the 3 miles in 15:50. I was gonna do another 3 hard but I wasn't feeling it after that set, and I knew I had a hard leg workout after. So I did 2 more at an easier pace. I got off the treadmill and just competely killed my legs on the machines. Usually I don't workout my legs for that hard and that long, but after I finished my last set on a machine I got off and almost blacked out. I was stumbling all around and couldn't stay up. I went and sat down for a couple minutes then I realized that I was 1 mile away from 40 miles this week. (My pre-race day screwed everything up) So I did a reallllllly easy mile on the treadmill. When I finished with that I felt like complete junk all around and didn't feel too good. Atleast I can say I made up for missing a race.
