You guys, I'm on cloud nine! I woke up at 2:30 AM and couldnt go back to sleep until 6:45AM but then had to get up at 7:20. So I felt like a real zombie from 4 hours of sleep. I was most stressed becuase I had one of my last bigger workouts left to do today and started to wonder if I could do it. Ive had that much sleep in the past and I've been fine, but I just felt super off today. I decided to go for it anyway, but put it off until later in the day; mostly becuase it took me that long to decide if I could do it.
I went to the allegist today due to some extreme asthma I get every winter from exercise induced asthma, but its worse in the cold air. They did some tests and found I was allergic to my favorite things... trees! Mostly evergreens. I guess I will stop licking them. Apparently, since those trees are coming out of dormancy, its really in the air right now. Since I'm trying to heal my lungs the most I can before Boston, I decided to take the workout inside, but I really didnt want to do it on the TM!
WU 1.5
8 mile tempo @ 6:41 first four, then last four at 6:31
Usually the TM is off by about 5-6 seconds per mile, so I averaged more like 6:35 for 8 miles.
I felt so smooth and controlled, it was playing with me. My legs felt like they were going 5k pace but I felt like I could have gone another 5-6 miles. Im really proud of myself.
My pod needs to be re-calibrated again, it had me at 7:00 and 6:50. Even then I killed my goal so I'm stoked.
