Training 8/1-8/7

 8/1-  I've had more relapses.  Time is ticking away.  Only 3 months to train.  If I can sustain a window of decent balance, I still have a chance to deliver a semi-respectable showing.  Today will not cut it.  Planned to run 2 miles at Veteran's Park (3 laps around the lake) and had to settle for 1 in a time of 9:14.  I suspect that my adrenals have spiked.  Felt reasonably well early but collapsed after 0.75 and did not even attempt to go beyond 1 mile.

Distance=1.0

8/2- WORSE!  1 mile in 11:57 and it took an all out effort at the end to break 12 minutes.  Took only the detox and the Thym-Adren today.  Clearly not the answer.

Distance=1.0

8/3- An improvement.  2 miles in 20:49 (10:25 pace).  Splits were 9:49-11:00.

Distance=2.0

8/4- 1 mile in a time over 10 minutes.  Fortunately, there appears to be an explanation as to why I have been so bad.  I'll reveal it on a separate post.

Distance=1.0

8/5- Best showing of the week.  2 miles in 19:54 (9:57 pace)

Distance=2.0

8/6- 1 mile worth of junk intervals.

Distance=1.0

8/7- 12:25 mile in the morning.  10:xx in the evening.  Probiotics were the difference.  I need to take those at night.

Distance=2.0

-10 miles on the week
