Very quick (for me!) 6k tonight. Last clinic night with the whole group - some will be running Mississauga on Sunday, others will continue for two more weeks preparing for Ottawa. It was a bit breezy and cool tonight, so I began the run by wanting to keep my heart rate up to stay warm. The pace seemed to agree with me, so I kept at it. It was good to get some confidence pushing myself a bit. It's been a long time since I've seen a sub-6/km pace on my watch. Hello old friend! The whole heart rate training regime was good for me this cycle. It kept me from burning out, and it was also easier to come back from my nagging injury through March and April. It will be great to be in Mississauga on Sunday, for the half. I've never been to that race, so I'm looking forward to it. I may even spend some time at the expo - which is something I usually avoid like the plague. I'm a "get the kit - get out quick" expo guy! heheheh We'll see how much time I have on Saturday.
