Today was about time on my feet. I really wasn't concerned about my pace. Ran out to Lagoon and back home. Added a few miles at the end to get close to 3 hours of running. Got a late start so it was a little warm towards the end of the run. Legs were a little dead from yesterday's race. I spent a lot of time during this run thinking about that race. I really believe that my downfall was the lack of V02 max runs. I haven't really done anything faster than tempo pace in a couple of months. Because of this, I was unable to move into the level of discomfort that comes with VO2. My mind would only accept the lactate threshold level of discomfort.
