"With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere." - C.S. Lewis
First off, thank you all *so* much for the encouraging words about my upcoming 10K. I really appreciate it. I failed to mention that said 10K is 9 short days away. Yikes! I think I'm stressing because it is so close.
Yesterday I got my butt kicked by Coach Troy (Spinervals No Slackers!) and later went on a 6 mile run in my Z2/Z3 HR. Not so sure what will happen when I start out at my 5K pace on race day, but everything begins somewhere.
Today I took it easy - 1250M swim and 6 mile bike ride. I thought about riding longer, but there are still some icy patches on the road so I cut it short - better safe than sorry.
Merry almost-Christmas-Eve!!
Way to start out the year with a new adventure. That is what a new year should be about, (I think so anyways).
ReplyDeleteHave a good x-mas.
Did I say how excited I am to hear your report? If I did, I'm saying it again because that's how excited I am! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteYou will be FINE!
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to go fast? If not, just view it as a training day.
If you want to test yourself a "little", just go your normal training speed plus one little notch higher. Pay attention to your breathing rate. If you are really winded at the first mile (like feeling a litle oxygen debt in your upper arms), that's too fast. If you are a little winded but confident (and still thinking happy thoughts; noticing the scenery and outfits of people around you), then that's about right.
Have fun... that's the most important thing. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
