A.M. - Was up way, way too late again last night working on some work stuff. It wouldn't have been so bad had a been more diligent and devoted more time to working earlier in the day or on Saturday, but there were funner things to do and quite honestly its nearly impossible to concentrate and get any work done at home with a 2 year old and a 2 month old. As a result, I slept in more than usual and went down to the gym. Physically felt okay and made it through the run I had planned. I didn't go hard and never intended to so I'll hopefully have a little something for the 10K tomorrow:
5 minutes @ 9.5 mph, flat 49 mins @ 10.0, flat 6 mins @ 10.5, flat
The D News 10K is fun. But I dread it a little. I'm by no means expecting a spectacular result. I basically haven't done and 'speedwork' this summer, so I'll be interested to see if my average pace tomorrow is any better than half marathon pace. History has shown me there isn't much difference. Goal is to go sub-33. Hopefully this race provides a little speed stimulus. I'm much more looking forward to Timp half this Saturday. |
