Hard Run

Yesterday's tempo run felt hard. It was a struggle the whole time. I never felt like I got into the groove, even after getting through the usual initial hard bit I always have in every run. It was strange and bit of a downer, but I kept thinking, just do the workout and you have still benefitted from it, even if it felt bad. This is when I realize how much of running is in the mind!

I had to do 5x 5 minute fast segments, with 2 minute slower intervals. I didn't get up to as fast a tempo as I would have hoped, but I ended up doing 5.5 km in the total 35 minutes. And I was sweating like crazy - ugh. Man was I glad when I could finally get off that treadmill!
