1km fartlek loops

on the program was 4 x 1km fartlek loops that i thought were intended to be a little easier than usual due to the C2S. i was WRONG! we were supposed to go just as hard, there were just less of them. i felt a bit slow amd sluggish today. had trouble keeping up with my partner in crime Kerry, and when sean told me that i should try and take her on the 3rd loop it completely threw me and i started drifting even further back. say something for my competitive spirit?

i am thinking that it could be that my legs are tired from adding a lot of walking this week. to and from work yesterday which adds 90 mins to the 30 min run that i had programmed. so i am walking today but won't tomorrow so that my legs are dead set fresh for sunday! i just prefer walking to work to catching the bus.

mildly nervous about sunday... not too bad though because at the end of the day i will be happy just to finish and qualify for an A2 start next year. i want to enjoy it and not be hating every step of it, especially as its quite likely i'll be on my own most of the way.

anyway, mostly i want to have fun! and even if i have a shit run i am pretty good at cheering up, particularly if there is some good company at the finish line!

EDIT - forgot the whole bloody point of the post: warm up 3.45 km, 4 1k loops (actually ended up 3.9) in 5.08, 5.20, 5.16, 5.16 and 1.12 km cool down. Total 8.45 km.
