comments- i actually kind of liked this workout. the 3' segments were tough, but when they were over, the next 9' went by like nothing. it would be a fun workout to do with a partner, i think. definitely could've gone farther today... maybe i should've gone harder on the recovery segments? i'll know better next time!

Friday, October 15th

[morning HR: 49]

*5k easy course run in Fayettville, Arkansas

comments- felt pretty horrible. was ready to stop about 800m in. just heavy legs and and tight chest and arms. maybe i'm just tired from not working out yesterday and sitting on a bus all day. not worried about tomorrow though. bad days come... but they also go. :)

comments- learned my lesson the hard way today. ALWAYS listen to your coach. get out hard when the race is big and course is narrow. felt great during the second mile, so just have to get out well enough for that to be worth something.
