After yesterday's 10k race debacle, I've decided to go back to Matt Fitzgerald's Brain Training for Runners. I've got to get it out of my head that I'm the runner I was a 3 years ago. I'm a lot closer to the runner I was 7 years ago. This is the pathway back. Given age and health seem to be working against me, I look forward to seeing how far back I can actually go.
