Notes
I forgot to set my alarm last night so I woke up late. Kinda glad honestly cuz it was my first 8 hours in a while. I figured I could still do all 11 if I didn't stop very long, showered fast and went straight to work, so that's what I did. The rush I was in bled into my pace though, and I went a little faster than I think I should've. This is supposed to be MP, but no way in hell will I be running my marathon this fast. It was that pace where you feel uncomfortable enough to want to slow down or stop, but not quite fast enough to bonk. A pace where you could stop at any mile and call it an almost all out effort because of how it feels, but it really isn't. I guess this was just as good mental training as it was physical. It was hard, but I'm really glad to know that this can be a sustainable (albeit painful) pace if I convince myself and stay strong mentally. I ran the last mile hard just to prove to myself that this wasn't all out. Overall I'm really surprising myself this week.
