First workout of the training block. Ran park loop to warm up, then did 10x400m on the grass soccer fields with 1min rest. Kept the avg around 1:17's, or 5:10 ish pace. 45min total, 7:11 avg pace. Felt hard! But that's to be expected. Got it done. Also thought of a quote that I'm gonna use to motivate myself. "I am now Sage Ducote, the runner; not The Runner, Sage Ducote". I'm training for myself, not Eric Houle or SUU. And it feels amazing! I wanna sit down and put together a race schedule, but I gotta get a better reading on my fitness and budget first. Tentatively though, me and another former teammate will be racing a trail 30k out in Moab in november. Don't hold me to that though.
