Tried doing the In & Outs workout: 200 at 85-89%, 200 at 80-85%, repeat for three to six miles. It just wasn't working. I couldn't get into a rhythm in the first couple of laps--my heart rate did not depart from 80%. So, I dispensed with the In & Out idea and decided to do the 60-75 minute LT.
Those first two laps helped out my first mile. Here are the splits:
5:35, 5:56, 5:58
All of this and my heart rate never crept above 81%. I think I could have held this for quite a while. So, why didn't I? Severe intestinal discomfort. I think I ate too much way too late yesterday afternoon.
I am really disappointed with myself.
Total: 5 miles, 3 at tempo pace

You're really disappointed with yourself? I would say you're really too hard on yourself.
Now Danni, dont encourage him!!! better dissapointed now than in april. We are on a mission...
Danni, thank you for the kind words, but I didn't post that here for condolences or even encouragement. :)
Like Ed says, we are on a mission. From god.
Chris actually had a pretty good go of it for the first 2 1/2 miles... dogging me the whole time. No more popcorn, bro....
We shall make this up next week, in style.
