6:30 am - 3 super easy miles before class (23:00, 7:40 pace)
11 am - My legs feel kinda tired from the last week or two (I think especially from that 13 miler with Ted and Sasha), so today and tomorrow are recovery days. I have a hard time making myself run slower than 7:00 pace, so I went out 3 miles as slow as I could stand it (7:13 pace) then made myself run back slower than I went out (7:26 pace). Total time was 44:01 (7:20 pace).
The adrenaline is already starting to flow in anticipation of Saturday's race. I feel that I'm easily in 9:00 shape, but it's been so long since I've done a serious race that the demons of doubt keep creeping in. |
