There are days when I think I could do this job till I'm in my early 60s and then there are days like today when I feel every ounce and every inch of my almost 48 years,maybe it was just one of those days or maybe it was a cosmic payback for taking yesterday off,either way I survived and there is a train of thought that says "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger"......that said there's also a train of thought that says" hard work never killed anyone" but why feck w/ it to see if it's true???
After last weeks spectacular crash and burn on my hard 8 miler I was determined to redress the balance this evening
3.42 at Cedar & CCP a little more restrained than last week(3.26) but then it seemed I eased up too much,9.08 at Baltimore Ave,14.11 at Whitby Ave b4 making the turn in 25.01,my slowest halfway split to date.After last weeks second half colapse I knew I needed a better second half today and got it,36.01 at Whitby Ave and 40...something at Baltimore Ave.
45.54 at CCP & Cedar on route to a 49.16.3,granted 10 seconds slower than last week but a much stronger finish,out in 25.01 back in 24.15.
I'm disappointed I went out too conservatively,maybe I got snake bitten after last week but there will be other chances to return to the realm of 47.16.3 and 46.37.8 after my three week hiatus for races.
