"Why do you always plan big workouts after vacation? They never end well!"
That's exactly what Aaron practically spat out to me as he joined Laurie and I as we finished our adjusted workout of minuters. And he was exactly right. He also added that I never learn. Maybe it's just that I am an overachiever and hope that each time it will go well. Well, it didn't.
Upon my return from California, I struggled to wake up in the morning and the humid air seemed like a shock to my system. I, along with other Charlotteans, am probably adjusting to the full onset of summer weather that has arrived. It's hot, humid and sticky. Beads of sweat form all over my body and drip continuously down when I run; that's how I know it's summer. All of that being said, the workout probably should have just been scrapped, but we decided to do minuters instead and to put all of our marbles in the bag for a hard long run Saturday. This plan has worked for me in the past, and I just have to trust that all of my hard long runs since March will give me what it takes to run sub 5:55 at the USA Half Marathon Champs in 3.5 weeks.
