Tue 10/8 - PM 55 minutes incl. 3k-2k-1k

A resounding dud of a workout. Far too fried to pull off the originally planned session of 3k-2k-3k-2k, something I realized about 2/3 of the way through the 3k. While pulling the plug entirely might have been the best option at that point, instead I did a little editing in medias res and went with a cutdown instead. Alas, there was no cutdown in the pace to speak of, as 85 second pace was the Rubicon in terms of avoiding complete and utter failure. That alone is evidence of how unprepared/unable I was to pull off any kind of workout. In addition to the fatigue the right leg is officially a mess, still torqued up from last week and more specifically the long workout from last Wednesday. This made the pace far too difficult for what it was and led to feeling discouraged in no time. Splits:

3:32.8/3:28.7/3:29.9 - 10:31.4
3R
3:32.0/3:32.6 - 7:04.6
2R
3:29.4

Lackluster only begins to describe this mess. To top it all off, the residual stiffness in the hammie and glute along with being wound up from working too hard made it near impossible to get to sleep afterward, thus contributing further to the fucking hole I'm in rest-wise. Lovely.
