Recap

Here's a recap of my workouts over the past five weeks.

Half marathon - excellent!
4x2 tempo - not good, not good at all
Long run - okay
3 easy, 3 tempo, repeat - off pace
4x1, 10 miles, 4x1 - not bad
8 easy, 6x1 tempo - okay
Long run - good enough
5 easy, 3 tempo, repeat - okay
Marathon pace - complete bust
4x2 tempo - slow

In a word, I am nonplussed. I am unsure how to interpret my performance. I haven't felt fatigued going into workouts but the results indicate otherwise. Is it my legs. My breathing. My "heart". My energy. The last two seem culpable. It has been difficult to get fired up and work really hard. The corollary is that I have had low levels of energy. I feel like the energy is there somewhere. Like a resource waiting to be tapped, a people yearning to be liberated ; ) But I don't know. In the past five weeks signs of progress have not been evident. The question on my mind is what pace should I run. Yikes.
