Course: Out towards Winton Road and back.
My previously stated goal for this morning's run was to go a slightly shorter distance, but at a brisker pace than the day before and at this I failed. While I though I did make a conscious effort to pick up the pace (and I know that I mapped out a shorter distance over which to do so) the clock doesn't lie and in the end my pace was still above an eight-minute mile. EPIC FAIL. (Heck, I was even slower than the pace yesterday that prompted me to move in the direction of a shorter faster workout!)
So, where do I go from here?
I wai until tomorrow, plan out another route and give it a shot again--I continue stretching and warming-up well and slowly (more slowly than I had thought, perhaps) begin to work myself back into some semblance of condition. While chugging down the last quarter mile today, I kept coming back to the vision of an old automobile that had many miles on it , but though it could still run, did not run quite so well... this is how I felt this morning.
Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
