For the first time since I got my Garmin (approximately 18 months ago), I completed a run without looking at it once. I know that may not sound like a big deal but that device has a certain control over me that REQUIRES me to look at it to get feedback and assess my runs while in progress. This morning was cold and I didn’t want to bother pulling my sleeve up with gloved hands to bother checking my pace. After all, pace doesn’t really matter today. The run just needed to be easy … and enough to stretch my legs. I just let my legs go and my mind wander. Whenever I even thought about pace, I just told myself “keep it easy”. At the end of the run, I was happy to see I was right in the range I planned to be.
I ran 4x100 meter strides after logging the 3-miler. After not feeling particularly great during the run, my legs felt okay during the strides. It felt good to “open it up”.

How is it looking for Sunday?

Yes, I've been asking the same thing?
Brandon - Still up in the air. Work will decide. I've been working 12-14 hour days this week and still have a lot to do.
The flights and hotels are filling up but I think I can still make all of that work out.
Should know better tomorrow.
This isn't the best approach to take going into a big event! In some ways, it feels a bit like Ogden for me. We all know the results there ....
