my makeup may be flaking

Attempt at a workout. Did 15 miles in 1:45:07 (7:00) pace. I was actually at 53:49 through 8 (6:43) and 1:14:18 though 11 (6:45), before falling apart in the last couple of miles. My blood pressure dropped dramatically over the last couple of miles, making it very unpleasant to keep running but not impossible. However making it back through downtown Atlanta to my apartment was an adventure. I almost fainted crossing a major street and then had to sit with my head between my legs for a few minutes. I would make it a couple of steps before starting to feel dizzy again.

I had taken no electrolyte drinks before the run (because I was out) but I figured it would be ok as it was a cool day. Man I was very wrong.

9 miles in 56:49 (6:03 adjusted pace)

Splits: 20:38,16:41,19:30

previous best time 57:36 with splits 20:44,16:48,20:04

It's workout day! That means workout PR, at least in this training cycle.

27:19 for 4.5 miles (5:44 adjusted pace). That's 20 seconds faster than last week.

8:54,15:18,15:54,18:30,20:42,24:12,26:33

Allie said I had to include this story: I was crossing the street (with a green man!) and a car almost hit me because they decided to not brake and just pull into the cross walk at full speed. This has almost happened to everyone, and it's super funny because it could easily kill us. Anyway I bang on the back of this guy's truck to let him know how annoyed I am that I am being forced to now go outside the crosswalk to pass him. He opens the door and we have the following exchange (but with more swearing)

"Hey, you nearly hit me. You need to stop at the line."

"Well, I didn't see you, why you gotta hit my truck?"

"It doesn't matter whether or not you saw me. That's why you stop at this line on a red light". I point to the line on the ground.

"Well, why did you hit my truck"

"Your truck is fine, I'm just getting your attention. In the future, stop at the line."

"Well what if I just 'beat you up', what then?"

"Just stop at the line, dude"

"Ok, I'm going to beat you up".

Now don't get me wrong, this guy could have taken me, most likely. But we were in an intersection with about 50 witnesses and it was raining. The odds of him getting out of the car and beating me up were roughly 0%.

"Fine, be a little *****. I'm going to finish my run, but you are welcome to chase me."

At this point, I had to go anyway because the time was running down on the intersection. Point is, threatening someone with violence after almost killing them makes you a little *****.

AM workout, which means terrible underperformance. Did 2by "2mile" on the beltline, which is really like 1.9. 11:19 down, 12:47 on the way up. The 12:47 was quite painful for being very, very slow. I was also a little dizzy after the rep so I bailed on the rest of the workout (I had planned on doing 4 by two mile). Seems like there was little to gain from finishing the workout and I almost literally passed out last week so I quit while I was at least still conscious.
