I did the wrong workout I think...

Another beautiful autumn day today, overcast but still and just around 11C. I had planned a short run at a slow and easy pace today, with the same distance on Saturday, only at 30/40 sec km faster. So after I got laced up and headed out, I couldn't remember what the hell I was doing. Running obviously, but which workout was today. I checked my HRM and it had no comment besides telling me my first km was around 5:06, which put me in the middle of nowhere depending upon which workout I was strangely trying to commit to. So I ran on, somewhat bewildered, trying to stay within myself but firing off a couple quick ones as well. Towards the end I was tired, confused and not sure if I would be happy with the result. I finished up a half block from home and just felt good about running again. I smiled as I thought how goofy I get when I overthink what I am actually doing. Not sure if I will make the Olympic team this year with the strategy I am running but here is hoping. 29:56 ~ 6k, 4:59 km pace. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Peace friends.
