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.

Don't overthink it, just do it! But being analyitical, I know you'll have it completely thought before you hear the gun. But, the analyzing and visualizing can be major helps. Hope that the race goes well today and you nail your goals.
