Phone's broken, maybe for good this time. The hope is always that the final workout will feel really easy and smooth, but after the first rep, I was breathing a lot harder than I wanted to be and thought maybe I was better off scrapping the workout. But fortunately I realized that it would be much better to get the shock to the system out today rather than face it in the opening miles of the marathon. All the same, I tried to keep it as short as I could. I was hoping I would be completely over the cold by today, and I almost am, but I'm still getting some dark stuff coming out, more than yesterday, actually, which is good because I was wondering where it was. My head feels less congested, my ears have popped and stuff, I'm just about all the way back. And once I focussed on the effort, I was able to smooth this one out and feel reasonably good on the last 3 reps. They were nothing special, between 3:09 and 3:13, I think about ~5:05-5:10 pace, with a minute rest between reps. The 200's I was aiming for actual mile pace, which for me is not super fast. They were probably around 34 flat. I do believe things may work out just fine. I think I will be back to full strength by Sunday and there is a good chance that the pace will feel extra comfortable after feeling run down all week, especially considering I didn't wear super shoes for this workout.

Yesterday at the gym my phone dropped from the locker, about shoulder height, and I thought nothing of it, but the screen went black and it won't turn on now. I'm not mad, though, I'm just so relieved that I happened to transfer all my photos and videos to my laptop just a few days ago while I was sick. So now might be a good time to upgrade from my gen 1 iphone SE. I'm just kinda mad about the $30 I spent for a new battery. Someone tell Rich Warner. He was the last person I texted before my phone broke.
