Thursday workouts/training
Ran a pitiful 2 miles at 11 min/mile pace. I'm seeing a downward trend in my pace & endurance, and not quite sure why. Maybe I'm overtraining. Gonna take a break for a few days while on vacation and see if that's the re-boot I need....

I had an epic fail day here....
Trainer workout was SUPPOSED to be:
.25 mile at 7.0 sprint then .25 at 6.0 recovery for 4 rounds each
It actually ended up .25 at 6.7 sprint and 3.5-4 recovery for 5 rounds. The first 2 times I had major dizziness, but then I couldn't / didn't do it because of mentally quitting because it was "too hard". Totally disappointed and angry with myself.
Then for strength - 10 reps each, 3 rounds - elevated pushups (gripping lower bars of captain's chair w/ feet on jump box) , jump pull ups, BOSU knee / elbow touches
I walked 10 minutes on a hill interval on the TM and then did the 30 min kickboxing class
Hoping to get another TM trip in tonight to work off some "me" frustration
Good luck on your race!!
