I think I am in Week 4? Last week was a light week with only a 6 mile long run. This weekend's long run is 11 miles. I don't know the last time I ran that far. Probably the Old Port Half. Yesterday's 3 was great--weather was perfect, warm enough to go glove-less but cool enough to get a little color in your cheeks. It felt good. Today's 5 didn't feel as good--my mind was weighted by inane thoughts. Though I did pound out most of this within the last mile.
I constantly battle my pace. I suck. I fully recognize it is stupidity and inexperience that causes me to always run at a too fast pace. I don't know why I don't slow down. It is some weird competitive thought process I guess. But it needs to stop. Because I do believe it will hurt me in the long run. My training goal is to stick to my pace. And at this point I suck at meeting that goal.
