Here I Go Again

"Cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams and here I go again on my own going down the only road I've ever known,like a drifter I was born to walk alone and I've made up my mind I ain't wasting no more time but here I go again"
Here I Go Again-Whitesnake

Another week,another race,to quote Led Zep "The Song Remains The Same" I guess!!!
Unlike last Monday when I opted against a run since I figured a day off mentally and physically might be the best way forward after Sundays bonk on the long run I was out there for my easy/recovry 8 miler to kick the week off.
The knock on effect of skipping last Mondays scheduled run meant having to get out there on Friday which while not the end of the world did mean having to expend energy b4 my repeat,something I prefer to avoid on the weekend{I don't have such a luxury on a week day when repeats are in my rotation}but in the general scheme of things it didn't seem to effect me too much.

Although I had originally planned to race the 800m on Thursday I will most likely go for the 1,500m again,more to do w/ scheduling than anything although that said looking at the status of entries for both races this weeks 800m looks like last weeks 1,500m,stacked w/ fast times so maybe the 1,500m is my better bet b4 dipping my toe in the 800m pool next Tuesday at the Tuesday Nite Speed Series,but that's next week and for now my focus needs to be on Thursday and the 1,500m,after crossing the finishline I can start thinking about the 800m race.

To that end Monday was as straight forward as I could ask an easy/recovery 8 miler w/ another on tap Tuesday b4 a day off on Wednesday,here's hoping a more conventional week leading upto my race will result in a better performance this week....we can hope right??
