Historically, we’ve executed a time trial 10k two Saturdays earlier than every of our marathons since 2019, however my coach switched it up a bit for me this time. As an alternative, we did a 6-mile exercise on Saturday. I believe he is aware of I would let it get in my head if I run it slower than in earlier years. I believe I additionally find yourself going too deep within the properly with this time trial too near the race, so it will likely be attention-grabbing to see how this experiment works out.

He was proper; the exercise that I did on Saturday as an alternative was simply what I wanted.

W/U, 6 miles of (2 x 800 on/float, 4 x 400 on/float, 8 x 200 on/float): My paces ranged from 5:18-5:41 for the ON and 6:48-7:08 for the floats. We didn’t cease through the exercise portion; and it felt easy total. This exercise flies by in case you’re on the lookout for one which does!

I couldn’t consider how chilly it was. There was frost on the bottom, and I ought to have worn an ear hotter… Time to adapt to the climate. I’m certain when it’s the similar temperature because it was on Saturday in February, I’ll be feeling heat in a sports activities bra and shorts.

When the intense colours come out, it’s time to run quick.

Nearly all of the weekend was with Mer, my mother, and my cousin. It was a very arduous weekend, to be sincere. I’m not good at speaking about these sorts of issues. Mer isn’t doing properly. My head is pounding from the entire feelings. Please ship any prayers and love her means.

Oatmeal raisin cookies remind me of Mer a lot, so consuming them subsequent to her simply felt proper.

I hope you’ve gotten a stupendous day, and thanks for at all times being right here for me!
