Should have been smarter.  But I only have so many days in a week when I don't work the night before.  But man oh man when I started on this run I wanted to run back into my bed.  Slept 10 hours Saturday night.  Broken sleep last night, but total 8 hours.  Night sweats since Friday night.  Estrogen depletion.  An age thing.  But it sure zaps me of my strength.  My estrogen level is menopausal, but medications make things worse so I try diet and exercise.  So probably doing my scheduled SW today was not the thing to do.  But I did do it.  Let me inform you of how uncomfortable that was.  The schedule was  .63 miles, 1.25 miles, .63 miles, .63 miles.  (basically  1k, 2k, 1k, 1k, 400 meter recovery).  I set my garmin up and away I went after a 3.5 mile "warm up".  The whole time thinking of turning around and heading for home--running a 4 mile easy run and be done already.  Do I have to be that difficult?  Yes.  The first three I was okay with but then gonezo with the adrenaline when I saw the time for my last one I stopped part way thru and walked.  Dang.  I am zapped.  Called it a day but wait maybe I could just do it on my way home on the scenic by way.  Well I did but still goal was way off.  It was hilly and I was spent on hills Saturday.  Here are my dreadfully wiped out self splits:  .63 miles @  6:12 pace, 1.25 miles @ 6:29 pace,  .63 miles at 6:25 (losing ground now),  .16 (6:44, I was giving up, why am I doing this?),  jogged around the track started home,  .63 miles at 6:40 (a little improvement so done), ran home.  Avg pace for 10 miles = 8:03

I don't know how you pull speedwork when you are that tired. Nice paces anyway--keeping it real with the low 6's!

I am feeling a little edgy that I didn't skip SW last week and opt for that racin' feeling last Saturday but then again....its all in the name of my marathon, not the half. So I am trying to run smarter and then today comes and I run stupider. Meaning I should have opted for a no frills easy run. What is your plan for your taper before the BIG DAY?

Hi Allie. What happened? I will go read your blog. I posted that comment after April's.

From JulieC on Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 16:24:15 from 71.219.44.247

Yes, Ogden Allie. Thinking 3:11. Maybe 3:07 to 3:09 if I get my act together and taper right.
