I wanted to really hit some marathon pace miles today, so I threw in a 10k. 4 mile warmup at about 8mm. 10k was really difficult for me this morning. The course was flat, and my legs felt really dead and tired. I walked a total of 6 times! 5 and 10k distances are distances that I really need to work on. I felt really strong in this race, but I mentally, and physically, I feel apart at the end. I was happy about my time, for how I felt, but it needs some real improvement. I have a zillion and one reasons why I didn't feel go today, but I would not want to bore anyone with that information. I was a bandit during this race, and I held the two ladies in front of me for about 4 miles. I don't even know what the time of the winning lady was. It was fun to see Walter, some guy that runs with the BBK's (sorry I forgot your name), and a few of my friends from a relay I did. This race was laid back and really put together. I am already thinking about what I wil be doing next week as far as workouts. I really want a PR at my next race, (Mesquite marathon).
