up and at 'em
since i'm racing (gulp) the rcu charity classic tomorrow morning and i wasn't able to do any training last night, i opted for an early morning 'constitutional' to get the blood flowing a little. easy 4 miles on a mix of pavement and trail. i'm dubious as to how i will do tomorrow but the main purpose of the race is to be able to get an idea of training intensities i might want to use if i start sprinkling some quality workouts. i'm still up in the air on my goal...i guess maybe the following is reasonable:
a: average 6 min/mile
b: average 6:15 min/mile
c: break 40 minutes
i should be able to get the c. i think i can run 6:15 per mile in a race situation - the rub is that i haven't been doing anything at that intensity in training. i've been hitting a lot of trails which doesn't help with turn over either. but, you don't know if you don't try. i'm pretty sure that i'm not ready for 6 min/mile pace but i do like having a reach goal.
now i remember why i've been less inclined to race lately...i over think it!
happy friday.
