Yay! I got out there today and didn’t die. I just did 6 easy and while the first 3 went pretty well, the last 3 were reminiscent of my starting days as I peppered each step with that internal lament, “oh, when will this end?” Even so, I managed an OK pace (what should be my easy pace anyway according to McMillan) so life is looking up.
I might even run a 10K next weekend with Matt and Joye, which I’d not even considered because I wanted to start my racing season with a bang and thought it too soon, but now that I’ve already fizzled by default, I figure I have nothing to lose, except a good time if I don’t do it. Besides, it’s smack dab in my neck of the woods, so what the hell?
Funny how getting sick takes the pressure off. I can legally suck now without too much embarrassment – cough cough.

Glad to see you’re back at it Flo! I bet the next run ( which knowing you will be 6-8 tomorrow) will go even better! And don’t get me started about McMillan’s recommended ‘easy’ or ‘long run’ paces. LOL I always run them way too fast ( except today but thats another story for another time). Glad to know in good company there!
So your actually thinking of running the 10K with us ? GREAT! No pressure
Seriously, if you do decide to do it, just run it as a tempo run and see how things feel. No pushing this coming week! There’s plenty of time for that soon enough.
Glad I’m not the only McMillan “cheater”.
Yeah, I think I’ll do the 10K, it’ll be fun and happily, we don’t have to cross a big ole bridge to do it! And you’re right, I’ll try and behave with my running this week, just hope it comes back sooner rather than later, it was pretty humbling today.
