one of my favorite things is when i get my thursday email from coach with the analysis of the big dog run numbers - the pace, time, etc ... so here was today's:
the first email:
Overall avg pace: 8:06
Last 20 min avg pace: 7:40
Last 15 min avg pace: 7:35
right there are some serious holy shit numbers. that last number - the one i ran for 15 minutes? that's 5k race pace for me. RACE PACE. on a thursday. not in a race. at 5am.
but wait - it gets amazingly, unbelieveably better: there's a second email (after his further analysis) in which i was instructed to sit down:
20 min left to go pace = 7:32
15 min left to go pace = 7:22
10 min left to go pace = 7:28
5 min left to go pace = 7:25 (this would include the hill)
this is nothing short of mind boggling. i mean sure, i wanted to die. i wanted nothing more than to stop, or pee in my pants. but i didn't do any of those things ... i'm still here.
fairly elated.
shit ass sore.
but elated.
