Interesting quotes I heard today while listening to 'Outwitting the Devil' by Napoleon Hill while cranking out some mile repeats this morning. That is a pretty fascinating book that was published this year by the author of 'think and grow rich' long after his death and after being hidden away for over 70 years. "Faith is a state of mind wherein one recognizes and uses the power of positive thought as a medium by which one contacts and draws upon the universal store of infinite intelligence at will." "Faith is definiteness of purpose backed by belief in the attainment of the object of that purpose." Oh yeah...running. The workout this morning called for specific endurance intervals: 3 miles easy, 6 x 1 mile @ 10K pace + 5 sec/mile w/3 min. active recoveries, 3 miles easy - Here were my splits for the miles going up and down on marshall road. The odds are up, evens are down. Splits: 5:55, 5:47, 6:03, 5:36, 5:56, 5:39. I wasn't too concerned about what pace I was hitting, other than just trying to keep it underneath marathon, and closer to half marathon pace. So none of the repeats were very challenging. But I don't think they were supposed to be. |
