Getting Back on Track

So yesterday I was thinking, you know, I really wish I would have pushed a little harder at the race this past weekend and not let that girl pull away from me in the last half mile. It's not that it's a girl really, I just felt like I hung with her for the previous three miles, why couldn't I keep going another half mile?



Then I saw this, which was taken around the 12 and a half mile mark and realized, well, I think I was pretty maxed out. It looks like I should have been taken out back, shot, and put out of my misery.

Did a 7 and a 10 mile run today both at a relatively easy pace, just below 7 minute miles. Everything is feeling pretty good and I'm pleased with how quickly I've recovered from Sunday. I should be able to hit 100 miles this week, which will be the first time I've hit that mark in a couple of weeks. I think it's getting close enough to race day where I can actually start counting down. Only seven weeks of training left. I hope to make them count.
