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

Recovery run on the trail

;o(

Shocking workout.  Warm up felt good, but then started 800s and felt awful.  Did 3 of them and then headed hom to lick my wounds ;o(

After a long car ride home my legs were not 100%, and it was pretty hot.  However, I was determined to finish what I'd started on Tuesday so it was back to the track.  Pace was awful, but gritted my tetth through 8 x 800 meters.  Most of them in the 3:10-3:112 range with one at 3:00.  Not exactly inspiring stuff, but I go the job done.  However, I think that it is very unlikely (make that impossible ;o) that I'll break my 10K PR in 2 weeks ;o(

Decided to go out and back this morning while the vast majority of folks went point-to-point.  I got my timing a little wrong, and ended up seeing the group come past me about 1/2 mile from my turnaround point, i.e. they were a mile in front of me when all was said and done.  I tried for a few miles to pick up the pace and chase them down, but only succeeded in tiring myself out.  Thats where the 4 MGP miles came in.  Ended up right at 8 min/miles, which is better than it has been ;o) even if it isn't really what I need ;o(
