Legs felt tired before I even started. Was on my feet all day at Physical Therapy, and had to wake up early for that. Did a mile warm up down to the trail. Tried to do a 5 mile tempo, First mile 6:27, happy with that, I was tired though. Second mile 7 flat, feeling tired, quick break, next .5 in 3:31, I was also going out into the wind and that killed me. Long break, Turn around start heading back, took a quick break because I started cramping, then first .5 3:15, so 6:45 total mile, 4th mile 6:50, Last mile was going pretty good until I was in the last .25. I passed the bench, went down the hill and my chest tightened up, I couldn't breathe, I thought I was having a heart attack or something haha. So took a quick break and just tried to finish. 7:04 last mile, while dying. Then mile cool down. Not a great day, too many breaks, but I need to work on tempos. I think I just don't have that strength, I never have, and tempos will help my 5ks and two miles.
