AM: 2.4 miles with the group and then led them through a workout.  Had 15 runners today!  

PM: 2.6 miles before the gym.  Then did tris, chest, and shoulders.

AM: Track- basic 1-mile fitness test and then some 300s with trivia with the group.  Would have rather gave them a real 12 minute test, but the mile worked just fine I think.  I then sat out a couple of the 300s- relegating myself to the sidelines out of frustration- and only did 6 of them total.

Mile- 5:10, each 300 was done at 5-minute per mile pace.  

Certainly not proud of that mile time.  I did try my best.  That's the toughest pill to swollow.  However, thinking about it, nothing this entire season has been any good for me workout-wise, time-wise, or effort-wise, so it's pretty par for the course.  I don't know why my expectations were so high.  

For 3 months it's been a pretty grueling, sad experience to be a runner.  It's oddly depressing to be going the other way while still working hard, but then I remember all of the dedication and effort I've put in in the past two years.  The miles and time on my feet.  The mitochondria and red blood cells built/increased.  The efficiency of stride and form.  The fitness and muscle gained.  I know it's all there.  Now just to fit the pieces together- little by little if I need to.  It's just not worth it right now to waste all of that, particularly now that I'm healthy.

PM: run in East Lake. Through a faster mile @5:30 in there for no real reason.
