AM-12 miles up and down Provo Canyon early this morning with Chad R and Sasha. Ran well on the 3 mile tempo segment but was tired from the training and all the higher end aerobic running. We held the pace as a group for a while but shortly afterwards I had to let them go. I just didn't have enough reserve to hang on this morning. In the end I clocked (16:35) with Chad and Sasha around 16:15 or so. Wow.. It seems like a world away from the 15:15 PR Sasha and I clocked some years ago. Oh well.. Can't hang on to it forever right?
The main culprit I think is the lack of long distance endurance training along with running too fast on normal distance days. Did I mention also that perhaps being 42 now just might have something to do with it?
AM-4 mile easy recovery jog on 7th east/80th south plus one on the grass. Did not start out well with the two double cheeseburgers still on board somehow from lunch this afternoon. There is something about McDonalds that takes longer to digest than some substances to de-compose.. I should know better but it was close and quick to grab in a hurry.
