Anyhoodle, when I finished the first mile I thought about that movie and how he said that the first mile was the worst one and I thought how true that is. The first mile sucks, the rest is just a head game.

4.5
For the long. Time was 57:49, 12:51 per mile. This was a very comfortable pace for me, and I want to make this pace my goal for the long runs. I was pretty happy throughout the run, I made it a point to try to go slower than I did last week for the four mile, because I remembered that the long runs are not for speed, you are supposed to go slower on those if you are training for a long race, right?

For me it's the first mile and a half, maybe 2, when I do the longs. I'm kind of jealous that you are training. Maybe I should pretend that I'm signed up for a half, and pretend train.
ReplyDeleteWell, if it makes you feel any better, I pretty much am pretending to train. I haven't committed to anything, haven't registered for that slacker half. It's just that the training schedule is so tight that if I want to do it at all, I have to be training now, so I figure I will just go ahead and train for it, and then if I don't want to do it, I won't do it. I have to increase my long runs by a half mile every week until June 25th, and that will only get me trained up to ten miles, but I figure since it is an all downhill run, I'm hoping that only training to ten miles works better than it did for the Denver half.
