Went out for a quick metabolism boost before sun set ... When I got to River path, I decided to run a fast mile ... 6:25 ... which coincidentally is a sub 40 10k pace. While I enjoyed the mile, I also knew I have little interest in attempting to run that pace for 6 miles ... or doing mile intervals at that pace! Walked a quarter mile to enjoy the sunset, turned around & ran a mile back at a 9:00 min pace ... enjoyed that mile too! :) I think I hit my running peak last fall, this aging body does not want to run alot of miles anymore ... and I seem happiest going out and running 4 or 5 miles. I think my training is going to move towards conditioning for soccer with lots of short intervals ... then again, I am signed up for NYC marathon in November ... maybe I will get excited to run longer again when the weather cools. Played golf yesterday with my Dad, just missed an eagle putt on a Par 5, we had a great time!
