Besides my autopilot mode on Tuesday, I kind of bounced back the following days, just by doing what needed to be done: work, workouts and cleaning (can't wait for the project to be completed, we are so close)... in that order and very little to none computer time at home.
I had early morning workouts each day this week and besides the swim (3,000 meters) on Tuesday, I also got all this in:
- Wednesday: 7 miles on the track
- Thursday: 3,600 meters in the pool (my longest swim ever) and a 25 mile trainer ride with intervals in the afternoon
- Friday: 8 miles progression run
I NAILED IT!!
Okay, that's the super short version.
Well, it was a negative split progression run thing and honestly, I was super nervous about this run since I saw it on the training plan. Why I was nervous, I have no clue. Last night, I put the paces in the Garmin to help me with pacing during the run and... I nailed it. I almost died in the last mile, but other than that, it was a great run.
I guess, I was also nervous, because my stomach was acting up for a couple of days, but it didn't give me any problems during the run. Then at lunch or right after that, all hell broke loose... By now, I am feeling better, but not quite there. My dinner consisted of crackers and hopefully, by tomorrow things are going back to normal.
nice! progression run + 8 miles + this wonderful weather :) way to go! i always get nervous before any kind of speed run. often i end up talking myself out of it and just run easy.
