Stale Toast

Today Total: 12k
Week Total: 24k
Month Total: 56k
Year Total: 349k

In keeping with my campaign to get my trudge pace up I gave the legs a real shellacking at training last night and headed out on the same 12k loop I cruised around yesterday morning. I certainly wish I had of left the Garmin home today instead of yesterday - all it did today was constantly remind me how dismally slowly I am progressing in my quest.

It was also very windy (though blissfully cool) which added to the general frumpiness of the run. The wind gods were having a right old time of ensuring that no matter which direction I ran the wind was always head on - thanx guys.

If I want to get anywhere near my goal time for Six Foot I have to get my tired exhausted legs (I'm not talking sore - I'm talking fatigued) run pace to about 6.15 per k - sounds slow huh? Well I couldn't get there today - a 6.28 average was the best I could do and some of the splits on the hills were much worse than that!

Not going to do anything for the rest of today and freshen up and do something faster tomorrow to boost my confidence. :-)

Yep sounds like you'll be fine 2P.

Regarding the Cascadia shoes ? I reckon they are the same weight as my ASICS GT2100's.

We gotta have slow runs to make our fast runs seem fast!

Wish runners could trade...
Then i wouldn't have to do these long runs...and you wouldn't need to try to run faster...if only.
