Slump

The last few weeks I have been in kind of a slump training-wise. I haven't been all that motivated to train hard though I have still put in some okay miles. I have been busy with work and family stuff and I am sure that has contributed to the slump since I haven't been getting as much sleep as I would have liked. Below are the last two weeks of training. I finally bought my ticket to Jacksonville, so I am committed to Gate River. I am excited to race and run better than I did there last year.

Workout Highlights:
2/16: Workout with Art at the Mines outdoor track. We did 2xmile w/ 1:00 rest in 5:00 then 2x600m in around 1:42 with 1:30 rest and 2x400m in 63 w/ 1:30 rest. We both felt tired and ended up modifying the workout from 4x600's to 2 6's and 2 4's. Still and okay workout despite the 20mph winds.
2/19: Long run alone on the bike paths from my house. I have been having some okay long runs even though I haven't been feeling that great. Clocked several miles around 6:45 feeling easy.
Lowlights:
Rabbiting the mile on Friday night at Mines. I only made it through 1k in 2:40. I was hoping to run at least 1200m or even finish if I felt decent. Just never felt smooth and was hurting at 800m in. I hope this just means I am in 15k shape not 1 mile shape... Also, still dealing with hamstring pain and tightness.
