"Tempo" Bust

January 19, 2009 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 15 Cloudy

Comments:
I did a pathetic job today in this workout. I was dropped by everyone I should be near in the tempo and caught by Mike Grese from behind. I've come up with several possible reasons:
1) I didn't try - I know I could have run faster and I was recovered almost instantly
2) My legs were sore/tired - definitely true but not the whole problem
3) I'm not in shape - I've yet to actually run a good workout this season, or do anything of significance well.

4x400: 79, 76, 72, 70 - I truthfully felt a little better on these as I ran them.

All in all, today was an uninspired performance and I have to do a better job in the future. I feel like I'm sort of limping into this season and would rather be somewhere else. That needs to stop.
