Well, I had mixed feelings going into the run tonight. I was excited about the challenge on tackling a large distance alone, but worried about previous difficulties I have had with tough training after a long day sitting in a cube. Naturally, I came out way to fast and I felt like I was laboring for a majority of the run. I wasn’t out of breath, I just felt like I was pushing and going nowhere. Runs like these make me appreciate the pace regulation that comes with being part of a team and makes be glad on race day that they will have pace leaders that can get you to your goal time by keeping an even pace. Anyway, I am glad the mileage is now in the books and that I will live to fight another day. I am looking forward to getting acquainted with a race situation on Saturday as a few of us will travel to Louisville to compete in the Anthem 5k. I will let you know how that goes.
Later.
