Today was national Running Day!
So...
I did a bike workout.
Seems I've never really been one to follow the crowd!
Tomorrow on the other hand,
I WILL run.
Boy, will I run...
My workout calls for a couple sets, 4 miles each at a pre-described pace. I will keep that number to myself, but let it be known that it's a nice pace for me, absolutely doable.
AND THEN....
I'm supposed to run a half mile at a 5:20 pace.
5:20 !!!
I actually checked with my coach to see if he input that number correctly.
Are you sure you didn't mean a half mile IN 5:20 ???
You do realize, I asked, that I've never seen anything close to that kinda number?
He just sat there and smiled at me.
That sly little smile that some people have.
That sly little smile that had me saying to myself...
Fine,
I'll show you.
I'll go out there and run that 1/2 mile,
and
I'll run it at 5:19 or pass out trying!
