8x800m with 1:30 rest at 2:43-2:37
Actual:
3 mile warmup
6x800m with 1:55 jog rest at 2:42/2:45
3.7 mile cool down for 10 miles total
PM: 1.5 hours of dance!
I might be back! Just maybe. Caleb and I started a bit later this morning--at 6:30--to get some extra hours of much needed sleep. We did just 6 repeats, two shy of my goal, but I felt positive about how I stayed mentally in the game. I didn't look at my splits and even asked Caleb to not share the splits with me as we finished. I did cheat a little though by asking him what he ran, since he was a little ahead of me, I could still gauge how fast I was going.
I have to start somewhere, and I feel like this a great start! I enjoyed the workout and felt very positive in my thoughts during each interval. Positivity at this point is very important and definitely a step in the right direction. I'm finally beginning to believe that I'll start feeling like a new person--meaning, a person with normal iron levels--in just a short period of time.
I'm going to do a 10 mile progression run with the intent of putting in the full effort, even if it means the pace may be a bit slower than I would like to see right now. Like Laurie told me on our Sunday long run, at least when my iron is back, I'll feel fantastic!
