Notes
Tough course, touch 5 miles and tough CS today for most of the way apart from maybe last 2 miles. What I would call before an easy run now it has been replaced by a medium to fast pace run in terms of effort. The best I could do when warmed up it was an 8:10 and this down hill. I had discomfort in both legs, tightness and was feeling tight up to the ground (gravity). The fact that I did not run for 3 days did not really make any difference in terms of CS. It tends to be there indiscriminately whether I run or not although it tends to be exaggerated if speed involves. So some food for thought in how to deal with the race over the weekend. If I attempt the race then I will have to accept and be prepared for the best or the worse scenario. I need to break free and run free no matter what CS Will be. This means I will either have to emotionally accept that I do the run and be flexible and enjoy it whatever the day and outcome or not do it at all and put the distance here without having the pressure of the race. Tough thing to do when I run with the Club Vest and with another 20 Club runners. I will be tested no matter what decision I will make. This is not what I had expected. It is too early to contemplate issues like this. So, time will tell what life brings?
