Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Missed my GoRun track workout because I had to work last night but after I got off got the bright idea that would go to the track and replicate it.  When Fernando message me the workout I about cried, it sounded brutal...and it was.  I never ever felt good during this workout.  I was winded and stiff and creaky and never smooth. It was basically awful.  I decided not to pitch it thought, and just deal with not hitting the paces I wanted.  I got kinda confused about the 300 meters so just went off the paces my garmin said I was running.

2 mile warm up

200(5:36),300(5:34),600(5:49),300(5:32),200(5:30)--200 meter recoveries in between except I took 400 meters after the 600 to work out a side stitch

3:45 jog

10 minute threshold 6:23 pace

4:40 jog

6 x 300 with 200 recovery 5:53,5:35, 5:42,5:31,5:28,5:28

cooldown 2.25 miles. 

ugh and good night

evening:  5 more very easy on the home treddy.  shaking off this morning's nasty run

Weight: 0.00

Nah, you did good - lots of quality in there. Garmin usually shortchanges you on the short intervals anyway because of the lag.

I was wondering about the Garmin, example, the first interval was 200 meters in 40 seconds flat...5:20 pace by my calculation but 5:36 according to Garmin. I dunno. I would hit the lap button but would be nearly 100 meters into the interval before it would even really register a pace under 8:00 on the Garmin. not sure what the deal was. but, I do know I struggled and I do know the threshold run was pretty accurate and definitely not what I wanted.

Same thing happened to me last week doing 200s...I only bring garmin to the track to use as an expensive stopwatch now.

My tempos have also been crap, but I think that's a summer thing. Anything over 800m is a struggle!

I am thoroughly grossed out over this and every other workout you did this week except your 7 easy and five easy in the pm one day. HELL-0!!! I would just wear a stop watch and record the time to not have garmin error. Some stopwatches can hold up to 50 laps, mine does. Smoking fast!!
