Better today

R/W at 5 AM, 4.13m in 60 min.

GB went with me, she is the one who pushed us today, not even ready to take the walking breaks. I was still tired from the LSD this saturday, had spent half the day yesterday setting up a pingpong table- why cant the instructions be more clear- all that sitting and bending on the floor and lifting the heavy table.

GB ran almost the whole way, no complaints of tiredness at all, so I am proud of her.Even tho I am sure she too must be having the residual effects of that LSD.
Overall satisfied today with the whole workout- 14.5minmile. The goal is to be able to do atleast 13.5minmile on the short workout sessions and 14.5 min mile on the LSD. Next 2 weekends the LSD is only 8 and 9 miles, so I am looking forward to those.

The major help today was the weather- breezy and temp of 60 degrees, that really helped. On saturday it had been 72 degrees when we started and climbed upto 85 in 3-4 hours. Of course we cant change anything about the weather temps on marathon day, so grin and bear it.

Just how much conditions on marathon day matter- Deena Kastor had to pull out of the Olympic Womens Marathon with a foot problem- all those years of preparation -poof! I cant even imagine how she must be feeling.

Continue with the morning workouts, school starts tomorrow so it might be a tad bit difficult but life will be easier if I am able to do that.
