This was another frustrating speedwork session.  i was expecting to get through the planned 6x800 sets today, but my fitness at that pace just isnt there yet.  it's surprising to me given the solid tempo workout from last friday.

I skipped my scheduled recovery run today to take a yoga class during my lunch break.  my legs have felt tight lately and it helped with flexibility.  i will try the recovery runs on wed morning and continue to take this class at lunch going forward.

5 recovery miles outside.  avg pace was 10:12.  I ran with my wife today as she is training for her first half marathon since giving birth.  It was fun to run together again, but the weather was tough.  Wind chill was probably in the teens with the gusts.
