AM: 17 mile 4321 run

PM: 1 hr. pool run

My GPS started doing some strange shit toward the end of the run.  For instance, it said I ran 5:11 then 6:11 for two miles when the effort was exactly the same so I had to delete the run.  I know I averaged about 5:30 for the 4, 5:30 for the 3, then 5:20s for the two and ran 5:15 for the last pickup mile.  Good run.

Nice and spring like day.  The only complaint I have is the legions of joggers and cyclists on the trails.  It's nice that people are getting out the door and being active but I have a twinge of elitist feeling like it was better when it was cold because I had the trails to myself!

I had some difficulties pacing the 800s. George wanted negative splits so I slowed down the first lap and sped up the second but I noticed my overall rep time slowed when doing this. The fastest reps were the ones I evenly or positively split but I felt much better on the negative split reps.  I wish Greg was around, he can pace these better than I can. Still a great workout but the splits don't look pretty.

Today was one of those very windy backwards days. It started at 50 degrees with a 38 wind chill for the morning run to work and it was 40 degrees with a 24 wind chill in the evening. About blew over on Key bridge. too tired to do any strides. Work was crazy today and winter is back with cold temps again

Felt terrible this morning. My body feels week and tired and I've got a sore throat. Pretty shitty tempo attemp so I capped it at about 4 miles. skipped the extra run to go to bed early.
