Well im actually just heading out the door, but if anything crazy happens I'll try to remember to post it. And yes it does go against my OCD nature a bit to post the run before I do it but I can always delete it if I somehow dont finish it.... Unless I get hit by a truck... Oh well then I wont care.
PM: 8 jamie took us out pretty fast for the first 5 and nobody spoke up so we just kept getting faster and faster. I ended up leading/pushing toward the end. I just get pissed off and want to make people suffer for taking us out fast. Unfortunately I was probably the 4th most fit guy out of 5 in the group today :( so probably hurt me more than them. Funny how jamie sometimes pushes the group now. Last year with just henry and me he would always hang back and let us decide the pace. I think its that he wants to show some of the newbs that they arent all that but its the wrong way of doing it. If THEY start fast on a training run I think its fine to keep them honest and keep it at that pace or increase the pace slightly throughout. And I think its fine to pummel them in workouts. But to take it out fast yourself you arent teaching them good training habits. You have to take the high ground. The pace probably averaged 7 or just under with the last several miles definitely under 7.
New routes suck. Gotta stick to the haynes classic and the haynes classic modified for darkness (no trails sucks but 2x blackstone still makes way more dirt than any other route). I hate not knowing exactly where I am in my run. Its not that im lost or that im uncomfortable running or dont like running. There is just something very comforting about repetition. What I am trying to say is that I hate change alright?
'10 mile river bikepath' route. i do the whole path which is actually less than 3 miles but getting there and back makes 14. nice route. the bikepath is named after the river it follows.
Should have run but didnt. Flight home wasnt a good excuse. I could have even doubled I just didnt. Was a little depressed for no apparent reason. Got off work at noon but flight wasnt until 5 but I just watched tv.
