Week's Summary
Wow, 3 hard workouts this week. I doubled up on the hard works out on Sunday -- after Saturday's long run. I didn't think I would have a great run but the weather was right and I just felt fast. And so I just hit a really nicely paced run. It felt good also because I was on semi-dead legs from the previous day's run.
Then on Wednesday I wasn't really sure what I was doing in terms of pace when I spied another runner about a quarter of a mile who I knew ran a solid pace. My goal at that point was to catch said runner or at least maintain a pace with them.
Well, I worked my way up and eventually passed said runner. It took a lot of effort to pass them, but when I did, it felt like a race effort.
My overall volume is down this week on account of a taper and no weekend long run. Also I raced this weekend, so I wanted to have some freshness in my legs for my 5K.
Well I finally picked my marathon: The Lost Dutchman Marathon. It fits nicely into my schedule and and has a nice course profile.
I have an extensive weekend trip planned for it and am definitely looking forward to it.
Yes, I have done Arizona before, but this fit into my schedule as well as my budget.
