wow....tired last night...drifting off to sleep reading scriptures off my phone to the family (we take turns each night). KONKED out right after kids sent to bed.  It was 930.  Awoke at 5 am briefly back to bed til 7am.  Courtney to Orthodontist before school at 815. Then dropped her off at school and drove to rec center.  Last night I decided I should do mile repeats again after inspiring 5ks by FRBs.  Man alive they aren't exactly fun-- max vo2 zone is just not me.  Anyway....I looked back at what I did last time and decided to start a bit faster (6:22, 6:22, 6:20, 6:18  LAST time).  So this is what I did:

2.5 mile warmup at 8:13ish pace, 2 % incline after first 0.75 miles at 1%.  Then right into mile repeats.  Body a little tight in the warmup and after waking but that I am getting used to.  Old age ya know ; D.   So 0.5% incline I ran 6:15 x 4 MILES with 800 recovery at 8:27 pace, 2% incline.  Last 1/4 of last mile I ran 6:03 to 6:11 pace so really last mile was about a 6:10.    Ran the 8 miles here in 57:29. Cooled down with 2 miles at 2% grade 8:03 AP started at 8:27.  Got nauseated last 1/4 mile of the repeats and really wanted to quit but resisted that thought.  It was in my head cause my legs were no more tired.  I was really lacking sugar since I hadn't eaten for 13.5 hours.  Ooops.  I was really thirsty too but my goal was not to stop TM until repeats were over.  Need some sort of plan for Ogden. Then Utah Valley.  I am thinking the thought  Fail to plan, Plan to Fail.  So I will be writing it out over the next few days what I should be doing.
