Week 4, Run 1

Today was speed work, specifically pick-ups.  I did a 2-and-1 run/walk around the lake, with the first 30 seconds of the second minute of the run faster.  I felt really tired and slow, but I pushed myself as much as I could and ended up doing the 2.6-mile loop in a about 29:30.  Not TOO bad, but not as good I did last week.  Trying to figure out why...  Was it eating poorly over the weekend?  Not getting enough sleep?  The warmer temperature?  Ah, well.  Guess I'll have good and bad days.  And I'm still just really proud of myself for getting up early to get 'er done. :-)
