Just did my long run this weekend so I was hurting! I've been excited to just get the distance in lately. My pace has been so slow I knew I had to mix in a race or two to keep from getting the "marathon shuffle". I showed up at the race pretty late since it was so early..It was 38 degrees this morning! Nuts! I made it up to the starting line just moments before the race started and had time to talk to my neighbors and their kids running the race. I wanted to pace at 5:45 for the 6 miles and started out a bit fast which is usual for me. I saw Scott and said Hi for a minute and then just enjoyed the first downhill bit. It was hard to run a pace when I have been just jogging lately but at least the tendon wasn't bothering me. I fell in behind the first two guys and pretty much finished on the pace I wanted. Great workout! |
