No AM bike ride. It's okay to say it... "Slacker!" So, I decided to run at lunch. 3.16 mile (5K) route that I've run hundreds of times. I was cruising along and at 2.25 miles I fell apart. By "fall apart", I mean I started walking. Who walks during a 5K? Wimps, that's who!
Trying to find a reason, it was a little warm/humid. Maybe I didn't drink enough water (which I never do - need to work on). Not sure what happened.
From 2.25 to about 2.5, I walked. Then, from about 2.5 to 2.75 I ran and then walked again. Right when I started walking the second time, a friend called to discuss a road bike (Cervelo Soloist!) he was going to look at and might buy. His phone call was a very welcome distraction from my horrible run.
Details: 3.16 miles in about 35 minutes, 11.1mm pace (which used to be good for me and now signifies my giving up - I love progress!), 162 bpm avg HR, 395 calories. Fun fact for you, you actually burn slightly more calories running slower vs. running faster.
Disappointing day. No AM workout, bad lunch run, and nothing at night. These are the days that make me want to watch the Notebook and eat a pint of ice cream on the couch.
Here's the Strava data:
