Really bad day for me. Went to the oval. Mile repeats. I was way off my time and I think that really got to me (6:03). I was already discouraged when I realized the only distance we were doing was a mile when I had thought, or rather hoped, we were running a shorter distance for the rest of the repeats. I felt awful, lost my breakfast in the bathroom on the recovery of the first repeat (I did one lap instead of two). The second one I managed to make it to the start in time, but not without making everyone wait for me. I lost the battle that went on in my head. I thought I was strong mentally but apparently not. The combination of feeling sick, not hitting my time on the last one and knowing I was only holding everyone back lost me what little focus I had, ended up just running a lot of it (6:37). Completely ashamed of myself for running that slow I called it quits, justifying it by Bills words from previous speed workouts "if you run slower than ___ you're wasting your time." I honestly feel that on any other day I would have been able to pull off this workout, it should not have been that terrible. Did the cool down.
