Felt pretty good today. I took some time yesterday to see how my runs were progressing at this same time last year. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I'm in the same range, distance- and time-wise, this year. I also noted that I was feeling a bit beat up and run down at the same point in last year's training cycle. Not unlike how I'm feeling now. Great news! I must be on track.

"Every runner's greatest opponent is the wall--the wall of fatigue, that is. The goal of training is to push the wall of fatigue by increasing the maximum pace one can sustain from the start line to the finish line of a race. The goal of race execution is to actually run as fast as possible without hitting the wall before reaching the finish line. It's that simple." -------> Matt Fitzgerald <-------

Decent run given the eight-hour turnaround since last night's run. However, I was feeling pretty gassed the last couple of hard sets.
Have to confess to only running hard for 90 seconds during my first set. I screwed up and didn't check my watch closely before starting. It was still set for last week's 90 second bursts rather than today's 2 minute bursts. Duh!

Didn't run this morning due to Cameron's Senior Awards Ceremony. After a late day in the office, stopped at Memorial Park for a couple of loops. Just looking to add to my weekly mileage. Saw Josh at the park. He must have been doing speed work since the first time I saw him, he just few past me.

Felt pretty good this morning. That was a bit surprising since both knees had soreness under the kneecap after Saturday's run and throughout yesterday.
Saucony Fastwitch 3's arrived in the mail Friday. I plan to break them out for tomorrow's treadmill run. They're light ... like 7.3 ounces light!
