First of all, I wish had more time lately to update the blog, but I don't think I've ever been this swamped with work. I've done more jobs lately than I have ever done in my career. I suppose it's a good thing in the long run, but free time is in very short supply.
Tuesday morning was a track workout. The program called for:
10 minute warmup
1000m @ 4:03
2000m @ 8:26
1000m @ 4:03
1000m @ 4:03
10 minute cooldown
Not much to report, felt pretty good the whole time, crushed the times by 5-10 seconds every split, and just felt peachy.
Yesterday was an LT run. I was dreading it.
1 mile @ 8:30
5 miles @ 7:29
I got up at 6:00am, bundled up because it was 40 degrees out, and went out to suffer. What happened next shocked me.
1 mile @ 8:22
1 mile @ 7:22
1 mile @ 7:29
1 mile @ 7:33
1 mile @ 7:20
1 mile @ 7:11
Another victory. Looking back at my earlier posts, I am quite sure that this run would have killed me a few months ago, but now I can complete it and feel pretty great afterwards. Every time I have a run like this it makes me feel pretty confident that my marathon time will be a PR... hopefully a huge PR. Tomorrow morning is a 20 miler... it will suck... but maybe it won't.
