My Conflicted & Tumultuous Relationship With HM Pace Miles

Unlike marathon or long run miles, they are fast enough to feel like work.

Unlike 5K or 10K miles, they are slow enough to feel interminable.

I want to slow down because waaaaaah, I'm tired.

I want to speed up because, dammit, I want the things DONE.

I want to rest less in between intervals because they're not too tiring & I'm impatient.

I want to rest more because I don't really want to start the next one.

I want to do them because I really, really want to improve my HM time.

I DON'T want to do them because of all the reasons I already said.

:P
