Crappy 3 Miles in a Hot Gym

Went to lunch at Houston's today. Had the sashimi tuna salad and 1/2 a slice of their extremely yummy key lime pie. delicious! Come to think of it, since I didn' t have breakfast, I haven't eaten much today which would negatively impact my (already crappy) workout, too.

Workout

August 20, Thursday
4:44 p.m. ET
Warm up: .5 mile walk
Distance: 3.0 miles, treadmill 1%
Duration: 31:02.8
Pace ave: 10:20
HR ave 163, max 185
Cool down: .5 mile walk
Too friggin' hot in the gym!
Shoes: Yellow Pegasus

Intended to run for a mile to warm up, then do 8x400 with 400m recovery jogs followed by another mile as a cool down. Did the first mile and 4x400 with 400m recovery jogs and that was that. 1@5.5, (400@6.7++, 400@5.2) x 4

I guess because of the warmth in the gym, my HR wasn't recovering much at all on the last two recovery jobs. Back was okay until about .3 mile into the 1/2 mile cool down walk & then a little niggling ache started. Nothing particularly uncomfortable, though.

I've got to get back to some consistent training. This hit-or-miss stuff isn't working out too well! (Duh!)
