Double T with Me. I thought I had found a nice 5k (it was a cancer research fundraiser) that would line up nicely with my workout day. Plus, even though it was in Dubuque, IA, it looked like it wouldn’t be too hilly.
Phobia is not the right word for it, but I’ve been developing a bit of an aversion to racing, so I thought it would be worthwhile to hop in this race and use it as part of a double threshold day. Unfortunately, I got the days wrong, so I had to run the first threshold workout by myself and with no headphones.
Then, when I got back to my mother in law’s, my daughter asked me to join her in her scheduled two mile run for the day. It was hot, but she was feeling good so we went three.
I took a nap and then waited for the heat of the day to cool off but it never did. It was so hot for 3min threshold repeats. But I got the work done. I cannot wait for this heat wave to break.
