Notes
Felt good this morning and cold so immediately wanted to run fast to warm up. I caught up to the front of the group and restrained myself until 2 people went ahead. I ran with Sam a few minutes. Then James with the baby jogger comes around us and I decide that today I will not be passed by a baby jogger.
James has a nice bright light so he went under all the tunnels and I followed him. His pace was about 7 min per mile which I thought I could run. Once we got to Broadway I passed him and he went a different way. There was no one else around me so at this point it was a solo run. Once I got to campus there were some other runners that had gone the shorter route, but I passed all of them. I seen Dan, Copper, and Tanner after going past the tiger. Then back to the rec trail which was still washed out but at least I had a light and could see that it was bad. I slowed just a little and then picked the pace back up on the trail.
It was a good run but not sure if I can keep this pace for 26.2 miles. Of course that is how I am supposed to feel 3 days before a marathon so I guess everything is normal. I meant to run every day this week and have not which has been frustrating. I need to get back to making a written plan. If I have a written plan, I seem to get my workouts done. If I don't write it down, then I skip the workouts I had planned.
