I wanted to try and get a decent tempo run in today because I want to attempt to help Bec acheive her goal of 3:20-3:22 at boston rather than hinder that! Not sure today was the confidence booster I needed but oh well.
I did 8.6 miles on the treadmill in 60 min. Just cranked it up progressively. I was hoping to finish feeling strong and all yeah baby I kick A$$! Rather, I stopped twice for about 20-30 seconds each and cranked the incline all the way down to 0% by 20 minutes in and finished with some chub chafe in between my thighs. It was awesome! Oh wait no it wasn't. haha April fools to me. how on earth were 6:30's easy peasy lemon squeezy a year ago and now honesly 1 minute at that pace is physically difficult. Anywho I'm over it and honestly accepted it a long time ago. I get that I haven't been training much but it's because I feel like crap running all the time. Okay end of rant. Do not comment, I just needed to scream to the world!!! Somedays I just want to run fast and feel good! Obviously I'm being dramatic but I do feel better.
