Notes
Well this was a pretty atypical Paul run but I don't know, I'm kind of chomping at the bit these days. It's not THAT fast but normally I aim not to run so quick on easy days. But, with just one workout before Saturday's race, I'm not worried. Worst comes to worst, I'll back off a little tomorrow, but doubt that's necessary. Just got groovin.
Started off thinking I was going at a reasonable pace, so was a little surprised to see 7:07, but that's a pretty typical mile 1. However, the fact that mile 2 was slower got me a little annoyed. Overcompensated a bit on 3 but thought the watch was just off. 4 confirmed it wasn't, so I went to back off a little but 5 was the quickest yet, so I just stuck with it. Thought I might get under 65 but at 52:5x for 8 it was unlikely so I just wanted to maintain effort. Then, BOOM, unexpected 6:0x-6:00... with tears streaming down my face, I felI to my knees and let out a yell of pure bliss, for I had finally made the RPI team. I'm packing my bags tonight and heading up in the morning. Troy, here I come!
