This week might not look hard on paper, but it was not easy. I knew the race Thursday would make me feel tired, but I didnt want ot rest up for it because thats not the purpose right now, so I ran 15miles the day before the race and this could have explained why I had no bounce at the starting line. In addition, I think I might be running most of the runs at low 6min pace and counting them at 6:45 pace. Next week is going to be a very hard week. Stay tunned!

  1. Ruben I'm looking forward to seeing this very hard week of yours. Hope it goes well. BTW about the Friday PM run, out in 34, back in 30.. You should try a Kenyan outback! They're very fun and I believe they are a good workout to be doing; you simply go out from your starting point for an amount of time or distance at a slow run, then turn around and hammer all the way back.
