PM: 2 WU Mona fartlek 1.5 CD

felt like crap last night, like I was getting sick. Slept 9.5 hours and I felt better this morning. It was a good call to take a down day yesterday.

Mona fartlek: 2x1:30,4x1:00,4x30sec,4x15sec all with equal "float" rests. Not really able to keep the floats fast enough yet but that's why I did this. Doesn't help I was going uphill most of the way. I think the next time I try to keep the actual paces I'll do it on the flats.

Very fast and competitive race with Olympic trials qualifiers, pro runners, and Ethiopians in the field. Wasn't sure what type of shape I was in so went out "easy." I did not take splits and went by feel. It was only after using Strava where I noticed I slowed down in mile 3 and 4 which probably cost me.

splits: 5:13,5:11,5:16,5:17,5:01. Obviosuly I had a lot if I ran a 5:01last mile. Just a little heavy and out of shape but it was fun for sure.

Was running by myself from a mile in. It was fun but man I'm not in the best of shape. I've split a faster 5 miles during a 10 mile race! My workouts have been super light coming off of the marathon so it makes sense I guess. One of the things I hate about running where I am at is that the elites are way ahead but nearly all of the field is behind. So in a race like this I end up running alone. I hope to hit the local elites by next spring, after I get in come consistent training.

GOBBLE GOBBLE MFers!!!!

Went out to find a hill suitable for hill circuits. Did some fast minute reps on the hill I think will work well this year since our main hill is not accessible
