8.39 mi.@ 8:12
6:16 AM 81° 87% 1 mph
Inadvertently started about 15 minutes after the ChampionsFit group left the Y. This ended up being a good thing. While going out on this out-and-back, I saw several runners coming back. This gave me a chance to "go fishing" on the way back in. Reeling them in one by one. ha! Gave my mind something to do.
Next week starts the "Build Phase" of training. I'll be focused on increasing aerobic capacity and endurance. I'll also work on building "fatigue resistance" at 3K and 10K pace.
PRE RUN
weight=166
water & oatmeal w/brown sugar & skim milk
POST RUN
SlimFast
Later, water, multivitamin & Kashi GoLean cereal w/skim milk
"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 <-------

This one almost didn't happen. Couldn't run this morning due to some work matters needing attention. By the time I got away from the office, it was late. Decided I wasn't going to let the situation break my 28-day streak of consistent training. I felt a little uneasy finishing up my fartlek run at Memorial Park at 11:30 pm but I got it in. It wasn't the greatest run. I suspect the long work day and sloppy nutrition and hydration throughout the day didn't help.
