Why am I so tired!!!!

Ok, I'm frustrated. I have been super tired lately...especially this week. I guess I still haven't fully recovered from my 8 miler last week. I think I pushed it too hard. Then, I did a super fast track workout this week and a hard hilly 6.5 miles today. I guess I need to freakin slow down or rest!

I'm just way too competitive with myself...LOL! On a happy note, I get to run with "China" tomorrow! Yippee!!!

Wednesday: 1 mile warm up, 6X800 meters (between 3:00 and 3:04 pace) 2 minute rest, 1 mile cool down
Friday: 6.5 miles UPHILL for 3.1 miles then steep downhill for 3.4 (Average 7:20 mile pace)

Anger makes me run faster!

So I went to the track today and there was a group of high school students (girls) who were doing the wronchest (spelling? Is that even a word?) dancing! They were listening to some music being played over the stadium's PA. I started thinking about how that must look to the boys...then I started to think about my sweet little girl. I PRAY that she never feels like she needs to be slutty to be awesome...she is awesome just being sweet.

Needless to say I had some emotions building inside of me. So I channeled that emotion into my running and had a great workout! Thanks slutty girls! LOL!

1 mile warm up, 1x1600 (6:10), 1x1000 (4:30), 1x800 (3:00), 2x400 (1:24) 1.25 mile cool down
