hill repeats? ouch......

mainsite rest day. thought about making up one of the weekends wod's but flipped to CFE instead.

hill repeats. yikes
treadmill 7% grade 3/4-1mile hold best possible pace

warm up
1/4
1
1/4
i do the 1/4 mile walk/jogs at 8% grade so figured this wouldn't be so bad......

set treadmill to 7% and stepped up the speed to a 8:30 pace. held onto this for about a 1/4 mile. way to heavy a pace. had to back it down and gutted it out to finish 3/4 mile. ths was far more difficult then i anticapated. may have been the run from sunday still in the legs.
took 2 minutes to recover walking on treadmill.
set it to 7% again and started at 9:45 pace. lasted a few minutes and gave up.....
sucked. but this just crushed me. had a real hard time with it mentally. not sure why.

walked/jogged a 1/4 mile to continue to recover and then ran a mile at 8:30 pace and finished with a 1/4 mile recovery

need to work on the hill repeats. this was just brutal. not sure if its a combo of the treadmill/mental factor or just tired legs from the other day. will have to work on this on the hill by the house. will map that out. i think its about a 1/2-3/4 miles up from the intersection. hmmm. something to play with.....

very difficult this am.

have a lot on my mind as well. lots of personal crap. leave for florida on buisness sunday and wont be back till late tuesday night. will be a good trip but need to get some stuff in order before i leave. the weight on the shoulders is back. it seemed to lift for a week or two but its catching up to me again. argh!

looking forward to a good workout wednesday am. who wants to bet it comes up with some kind of run? just me luck!
