Believe in yourself, and you just never know...

Warm-up ten 6 x 800 meters, then a cool down.  First four 800s were in the 3:00-3:02 range.  The last two were 3:10 & 3:15.  Not exactly what I'd hoped for, i.e. 8 x 800s at 2:55-3:00, but a huge improvement on last week.  The dream is still alive ;o).

4 mile easy run.

Nice cool morning.  1 mile warm up to meet Mark.  We then set out to do 8 miles at about 7:25 pace, which is a slower than MGP, but hey its early in the training season ;o).  Finished the 8 miles in 59:10.  Next week I'm going sub-59 minutes hehe.  Finished up with a 1 mile cool down. 

My legs were toast after two harder workouts on Monday and Wednesday so I wasn't able to muster the strength for a speed workout.  However, convinced myself to do some easy miles.

Didn't fancy the hassle of trying to do a point-to-point run with the group so met up with my Wednesday running buddy.  However, that meant a very early start.  How early?  I left the house at 4:30am, ;o(.  It was a cool morning, but humid too.  In fact it was very foggy down my the river.  I only noticed the humidity as I my shirt got wet pretty shortly after I started running.  

Pace today was pretty slow, but wanted to get a long one under my belt.  I also wanted to make it to 45 miles for the week.  The goal for next week is 50.  It's going to be tough as I know I'll be achy after this one!
