Training Run

Time: 60 min
Distance: 10 kilometers

Comments: Feeling rather achy now. It's been a challenge to pour on all these miles after the forced layoff but there doesn't seem to be any real negative effects from it.Got out late again and put in an workmanlike effort. The hills were tougher than I expected but I steeled myself, concentrated on the pace and cranked them out. As tough as all this has been, it's a good sign I am strong enough to get through these last few weeks and then the race itself. A huge portion of success is having what it takes to hang in when things get right tough and this is where you find out how to do that.
