day 897

better, MUCH better!

Dunno if I'm rationalizing or thinking it out, but, my time on Saturday's 10k didn't TOTALLY suck.

I use these as training runs (I treat EVERYTHING as a training run), so, theoretically, your training pace should be a minute or so slower than race pace. With that in mind, I did ok.

I WAS wiped out. Between boogying off to the NYRR to get the bib, to suffering through a cold, I made it and didn't bail. Not TOO shabby.

Brotherfromanothermother similarly was off pace. Almost a minute slower than usual.

So, it wasn't JUST me. Ok. I feel better.

(and the killer: do 6-7 miles every friggin' morning, I should be able to handle a 10k easily.) Oh well. At least I got my first marathon Q in for 2013.

This am, 32 degs, cold (er). We were spoiled from the weekend. Sweatshirt and longs, obviously gloves. Didn't even take a pee break-I dared not. Hadda prove I could jump back on the horse.
