RunNYC

Hey everyone!!
Tonight was an okay night. The run was great, although it wasn't the workout I was suppose to do. I went to the Nike Town run tonight, which is conducted by my old coach, and he pushed me kinda hard, but that always feels great. I went there thinking I would be able to do the workout my present coach gave me. So, what does all this mean? Let me break it down for you.

Scheduled Workout:
5 Mile Warm Up
5 Mile marathon pace (6:52miles)

Actual Workout:
5 Mile Warm Up (to NikeTown and joined group)
1 Mile Easy
5 Mile Tempo Pace (6:10miles)

So, to sum up, I did one mile extra, and the hard 5 was 42 seconds faster per mile then scheduled. Hhhhmmmm. Felt great out there though, running with some quick folks and being pushed always helps. Even after the workout though, I feel terrific, refreshed, and still have tons of energy. Since that was my last hard workout, that means I now enter a full on taper. Its been a hard, challenging season, and I think it paid off. We'll see in two weeks. Bring it Boston!!!
