AM - 15.25 Tempo.  Bummer workout.  Just kind of a perfect storm of crappiness today.  I actually started off feeling pretty good, but then it all added up.  The humidity was way high - no good.  Ran a lot of mileage last week - no good.  Hard mileage/long run Saturday - no good.  Been starting to get sick - no good.  Ran harder than I should have yesterday - no good.  So after The Circle had long since left me I was still trying to plug along, but slowing.  5:50 at Nicholl's.  5:55 at the bride.  As I came to the end of Mosquito, I heard the guys talking.  They had called the workout and were waiting for me.  I tried to keep going, but the body and mind were very week and I called it just after Mosquito where I had dropped over 6:00.  Really struggled even just jogging it in.  Glad it is over and I need a nap.  I need to really make myself understand what my focus needs to be.  I can't do mileage and pace work at the same time (especially during the school year).  So I need to let the mileage go and just get my workouts in where they are supposed to be.  I am going to let the rest of the week be pretty chill and get feeling better for next week's rebooting.  (Mana 638.75)

Sounds like "coach" needs a coach, if you know what I mean.

Sounds like you're cooked Dave. I'd pack it in as far as this sport is concerned if I were you. :-)

Don't tempt me Rob! With all of today, I think I'll take you up on that.

Didn't miss much James!
