This was a very good week of training to start with. I ran 3 workouts,1 race and got in some decent mileage. Monday's workout might have been the best workout I've had this entire fall and Tuesday's workout was just as good. It's nice to finally be able to run some stuff closer to race pace. However, I will point out that both workouts were done indoors. I have figured out that the cold induced asthma will impact me but I have to do the best f my ability when it comes to races. In today's race (it was 39F degrees and windy), it hit me at about 4.7 miles as I was running a steep uphill. I was able to keep it under control this time though. Instead of pushing the pace like I did at New Englands, I slowed down in order to keep my HR in normal digits. Then after the hill I was able to push a little harder. Although I was happy with the result today, I don't feel like I "competed". I think I was a bit nervous going into the race (obviously because of my last race), so I kind of stayed back and ran conservative enough to not red line the finish. I hope my next race will be better since it will be much warmer (Sillicon Valley 5km in San Jose, CA).
