Almost There


The "fall season" is coming to an end and I am trying to convince myself to keep going because I have more improvement just around the corner. The two main reasons I am stopping at Veterans Day on November 11th are: Lots of littls aches and pains and my schedule for next year will work better if I stop on the 11th.
As the season comes to end I am slowly wrapping up different aspects of training. For example, I put in my last long run yesterday. It was a solid 16 miles out at Great Falls. I would say the pace was around 6 minute pace and I felt in control for the entire run. Its amazing how little things like that work to build confidence.
Tomorrows workout will also mark an end to the real hard work for the year. Everything after tomorrow will just be maintaining whatever fitnessed I have amassed over the past few months. What is left is a last second decision to do an oldie but a goodie.... 3 mile, 2 mile, 1 mile with 5 minutes recovery. This one goes back to my first year of college. The first two repeats are at 10k pace and the last one is fast.
I will report back tomorrow whether its a success or unlikely failure.
