Horrible

So...planned 9 miles with 4 at LT HMP which should be roughly 6:30-6:45. Couldnt pull my heart rate down and legs felt heavy through the first 4. Decided to pitch the LT idea since I wouldnt be able to hold it and did 9 stride pickups in the next 2 miles. Finished the 9 at 8:12 pace. Not how I expected to start the week. I dont really know what made it so hard. I had only 48 miles last week and was coming off of an off day. Im guessing it might by somewhat nutrition related more than heat. Need more sleep too. Gonna try and eat 2000 cals before the run today to see if that helps things out. Ate roughly 1400 after the run last night. Gonna try and be asleep by 9 tonight too especially if I have to recover in the morning which is probably what I will do. Cancelled the 10k this weekend in light of the bad workout.

Planned 14 for today at 8:15 pace.
