flying today, even though that speed walking last night beat me up.. great sign.
fatigue disappearing.
stomach also recovering .. i think when it gets as bad as it was thurs/fri/sat, it has to do with some major "depletion" of something inside of it, like gut flora or something.. who knows.. but when it feels "empty and dead" even with food in it etc, i've never been able to run good if I feel that way .. that's basically the "complete meltdown" signal. It happened to me several months back, before I started eating pickles/drinking kefir, if anyone remembers. lol.

137 lb after workout .. didn't sweat much either, so emptied out alot after waking upgreat session. speed walking mile PR last night wrecked me a bit, but still had lots of power as expected. warming up was rough though, feet/calves were making me feel heavy. once I "turned it on" though, speed was there. Hips were opening up bigtime. Forgot to wear my footpod, wanted to see the stride length data.
Next speed session like this will be on thursday most likely. Then a 1 mile race on Saturday, yay.
such a solid session.. That 1km split has me at 5:01, and this was "relaxed speed", not dipping into every fiber and flooring it to hit a time/pace. Very happy.
Also, the last two intervals have me very excited. To hit those after my first 1km, has me very confident I can hang with a ~4:29 miler for 1km. I really think I can. I won't be able to hold it for the full mile (yet), but still, if I can hold that for a km, that'd be insane PR city for 800, 1k, and mile.
also,
wore my NB MRC5000v2's.. Feet are so tender/sore that, my XC flats didn't feel supportive enough, so wore these which have some alien substance in them, makes them feel like "jogger shoes" but they are only 3.5 oz. Insanity. I've been meaning to try them out again recently, so that's why I pulled the trigger on this.. and I just might wear them for my mile races coming up.
I can't believe those shoes are 3.5 oz it's insane. Compare that to my saucony endorphin racer v2's, which are advertised as 4 oz and weigh in at 5 oz, and it's just insane. Because these NB MRC5000v2's feel stronger & faster than my endorphins, and they are 1.5 oz lighter. That's serious.
The good thing: the ones I wore today are already broken in, even though they look new.. ~200 miles.
The even "gooder" thing: I have a brand new pair in the box, never opened..
