cold tempo endurance

Brutally cold, 27º with a stiff biting wind at 8:15 am on the Dean Hayes Track at MTSU.  Wind chill in the teens.  It just seemed so much harder today.  Like I work hard and am getting slower.  A slow set of 400s today with 2 min rest in between.   I really didn't want to do #4... but I did, in poor form.  Ran in short tights with long sleeves.  Cowered against the wall to shelter from the wind between reps.

400m warmup, stretches, drills 

4 x 400m w/ 2 min rest - 69, 75, 77, 82

The wind seems to really slow me down, despite any benefit of a tail wind.  Maybe it was harder today also because I've been eating really light past few days.  Still a lb over race weight and tomorrow's buffet won't help.  Will probably fast today or eat very light in anticipation of tomorrow's feast.  141.4 lbs after workout.

Can still feel the hip issue but it's better.  Hope to do speed work by Sunday.
