running

Easy with a few pickups. Everything feels pretty good. Just need to let a few sore spots heal up for Sunday.

Easy the whole way. Cold enough to wear tights. Things feel good

Easy pace today.  A few short pickups.  Everything feels good and my pace is dropping with the same effort.  That is a good sign that there is less acumulated fatigue in my legs.  I used to know I was ready to race when I would go on a run and just want to run fast.

I would love to run with a pacer for this race so I could just show up and not waste energy on doing it myself.  The closest pacer is running 4 min faster than what I think I should be aiming for.  Might go out the first mile with the pace group so that I don't go out too fast and then drop off.

It's going to be a bit on the warmer side which should be ok for me.

Pretty easy run.  Some guy came off a side road and joined me.  He was running about the same pace (10 min/mile) but he didn't want to have a nice conversation about running routes, upcomming races, kids or anything.  He just wanted to out run me. He clearly couldn't.  He kept speeding up and I just matched his pace.  After about a mile when he was really sucking wind I went by him, wished him a good morning and sped up.  I know this was quite immature on my part but I just couldn't help it.

Things feel pretty good.  Not happy about the lower milage this week but need to rest up to run a decent half.  Weather looking pretty good.

Just enough.
