Medium workout day, though I'm still recovering from Saturday. Two easy out to the Warren Ave. bridge, then a 5-mile tempo that I cut off partway through the fifth mile. I was beat and really straining. First mile was quick, because it has the downhill (6:00), then an even mile on Tracyton Beach (6:13), then one on a decent incline to Riddell Road (7:00), then another flat mile (6:13, it was the same mile as the other 6:13, so at least I'm consistent), then I kept the pace for a few more minutes in Lions Park and quit. My legs were shot and I couldn't get the same breath as usually on tempo runs, it's this lingering chest cold. So I figured to save some energy on a cool, windy morning. My legs are fatigued, mostly in the quads from Saturday. Not too bad though, recovery has been good. I rode my bike yesterday instead of a run. Finished off this morning by running back at an easy pace and the sun actually showed up (it's been a few days without), then stretched for awhile. 1:08.
