Something went right? O.o

March 12, 2012 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Want to have a good tempo? here's the secret:

-run a high milage week in a crammed amount of time
-take 2.5 days off
-spend these days drinking significant amounts of alcohol and down chocolate bars like there will be NO tomorrow to do it in
-climb a mountain, just for shits and giggles
-skip running on the day that you MEANT to and instead elect to climb around on a waterfall, go visit a castle remains, have a nice cup of coffee and sit around for a few hours
-eat mexican/spanish/brazilian/portuguese/whatever that was
-sleep all afternoon the next day instead of running that tempo
-tempo? what tempo?
-oh crap it's getting dark. I'm still asleep but I'll go try to tempo now
-still be half asleep through the entire tempo
-turn steady tempo into split tempo because you realize that you need to use nature's toilet (this doubles as recovery!)

This, folks, is how it's done. :D

Followed with 6 by 30 second accelerations at very quick pace, minute recovery between.

Now I am hungry. and dirty. I go amend this situation now.
