Speed Sessions Week..Uh...I can't remember.

I think week 7, but I could be wrong. I do know it was super extra hard this week, though. I haven' t been for 2 weeks because of rain, and a school program my son was in, so tonight I went and it kicked my butt in a hurry. Coach Mark based my work-out on my 22:59 minute 5k I did two weeks ago. (I knew I would regret that time) We did a tempo run, and we all had to run a total of 40 minutes with no rest breaks. My personal work-out was 2:00 minute laps. I ended up doing 5.1 miles in all over 39:23 minutes. (I stopped there because I was back at my starting point on the track. ) But, I had to stop and take a 2:00 minute rest break after the Garmin beeped the 5k point. It just messed with me when I heard it so I started walking. My 5k time tonight was around 23:40, which is fine with me considering I knew I still had another 16 or so minutes left to run. And considering that my 5k goal FOR THE YEAR was only 24:30, I am kicking butt. However, I have yet to post a time like that on the road, and I will get my chance this weekend at the Irish Day 5k. If I post a 24:30 there...I will be THRILLED!

On my way home I was CRAVING a beer, and even though I said just a post ago that I am cutting back, I stopped at the gas station to get a Mich Ultra. They were out. BOOOOOO. I guess that's good because I would have totally drank it and LOVED every drop. Something about beer after a run is hard to resist. I have found that I really like Mich Ultra. I usually go for a calorie packed brew and end up feeling kinda sick, but Mich Ultra doesn't do that. It taste really good, I stated drinking it only recently because a good friend of mine in Tullahoma drinks it. Good stuff. I have eaten healthy all day today and yesterday so I haven't caved much on that. (Pat on the back). My "digestities"(as my youngest son calls them) are ticked off at the moment, but my healthy food friends assure me this is a "passing phase". ha..haha...hahaha.. (Sorry)
