Anywho I have 8 weeks till then and providing "old man winter" is done fuckin' w/ my training and I can avoid illness and injury I should get 7 weeks of uninterupted 5 day/40 mpw training under my belt between now and then to put me in better shape than the Indoor Season.
Kicking this week off was an easy 8 miler my 7 day in a row to run but I've gotten used to it......what was a shock to the system was the 36 degree temps that I had to run in!!
Somewhat foolhardy on my part post run on Sunday when I did laundry I put my warm up bottoms and half zip fleece top away thinking I was done w/ them till late October/early November... they along w/ my ski hat and thermal running gloves were very much the running attire yesterday although thanks to the old "current bun" {sun} I could don my shades.....it gave the illusion it was warmer than it actual was.....whatever it takes right?
I was mildly disappointed to only clock a 1.26 for this run,early indications ie looking up at the digital clock on Peco Tower at my 2 mile, and 5 mile splits had me believing a faster time was on tap but it wasn't to be,maybe the fact this was my 7th day in a row of running or maybe the knowledge that repeats are on tap tomorrow cused me to slow down but it's still a far cry froma few weeks ago when I had to grind out a 1.34 8 miler.....like a wise man once told me" not all of lifes victories have to be on a grand scale"...
