I'm feeling almost back to normal! That was really weird and I still don't know what it was. But I felt really good and relaxed today, haha I expected to have a harder time after 2 days off last week.

I realized midway through my run that a while back I registered for a 10k that happens to be this Saturday... do I feel unprepared? Yeah, you could say that. I haven't done a bit of speed and my mileage is pitiful. But it'll be a way to force me into a tempo workout, right?? I'm gonna go at it with a positive attitude and come away with a measure of where my fitness level is at, which I can use for comparison in the future.

But today I figured I could use a quicker paced run. So 1.32 miles in (about a minute after I realized the 10k was on Saturday) I started a tempo for the remainder of my run. I wasn't going for a specific pace, just a pace that felt comfortably fast and could keep up for 6 miles. Kind of a bad time to try, seeing as it was bitter cold, windy, and a complete blizzard by the end. Ended up with 7:06 average for the last 2.68 miles of my run and a 7:36 average overall. 50% pace, yeah! I think I'll try for 7:10 pace or under on Saturday based on today.

Ran to the East track and did a mile of speed changes. Crazy how much things can change, looks like the track was redone since my time at East. Kind of crazy how that was 2 years ago... It doesn't feel like that long. And it's been a year since I've attended SUU! Time flies. Speaking of SUU, I might be going down to Cedar sooner than I thought!

First race in 11 months! Not bad considering that. I'm definitely still out of shape. I started out too fast and died, 4 miles in I was just trying to finish/not stop haha. Also, haven't done any speed or tempo or anything to prepare. It's good to know where I'm at, and I'll try to prepare more for the 15k next month.
