I had a track workout planned for last night, but decided at the last minute to just do a good tempo run. After 4.5 miles (instead of the 1 mile warm-up my track workout called for) I started to feel guilty about not sticking to my schedule and then did my track work. The end result was a good workout, but I don't know how it will affect my training plan overall. I have to have faith in my training plan and preparation. If my plan calls for a short, hard run, that is what I should do, no matter how I feel.
I pretty much always have a lot of ideas running through my head. Most of the ones that pop up while I'm in the middle of something tend to be exciting, but not great in the long run. Sometimes it is better to stick to your game plan instead of constantly calling audibles.
*** Last night I ran a little over 7 miles in a little over an hour (I had no watch and no idea when I left the house). I ran a 4.5 mile warm-up, 3X800 hard w/400 cool downs, and a 1 mile wind down. I also got in a 1 hour spinning session on the bike trainer before work this morning.

audibles... words can't describe how that word makes me feel. Thanks for the shout-out.
