A.M. 4.5 mile AT run + 5k pace 800, on the track, at East, 11.0 miles for workout.
I am still sick but definitely recovering. I slept great last night and my overall energy is much better. Nonetheless, HR is elevated so my AT pace was SLOW. After 4.5 mi, I jogged 150 meters, walked 50 meters, and then ran an 800 at 5k pace. The pace change felt awkward, but the rep was not hard. Because I'm sick, I not trying to sustain a caloric deficit right now. My body is under enough stress with illness and continue training. I'm recovering and don't want to thwart that by over-stressing it. I've dropped a few pounds and certainly am not going to gain it back with a few days of eating ad libitum.
AT Pace was ~7:15/mi. Final 800 was in 2:54.
