I was forced to take another zero today due to life circumstances beyond my control. I'm not sure how I will recover from the massive loss of fitness that will surely accompany two consecutive days of sloth - not to mention the blow to my self-esteem.

I'm a bad, bad person.

am: I began the process of redeeming myself this morning. Made it to the gym at 4:30 (let me say, this is the time to go to 24 Hour Fitness) and ran 11 miles in 1:16. Plan to do more later.

pm: 4.25 miles over lunch in about 30 minutes.

Just an easy run around Sugarhouse Park. Way more sore today than I should have been after yesterday's run.

This is the type of workout I've needed to get done for quite a while but just haven't had the mental energy to do.This morning my legs were still quite sore (still don't know why), but I felt ready.

2.25 mile warm-up

5 miles in 29:42

1 mile in 7:45

1 mile in 5:51

1/2 mile in 4 minutes

1 mile in 5:46

1/2 mile in 4 minutes

1 mile in 5:30

1 mile cool down

The best thing about the workout is that I finished it not completely wasted. I actually felt that I could do another mile in 5:30, but I want to run 20 on Monday and feel good doing it.
