After Fila Relays last year, my takeaway was “No More Races”. After 3M it was “races can be fun!” After Bagelfest it was “Bagels for Everyone!” And now, after Cap10K, I think the motto will be “no whining.” Just run, baby. You get what you get and don’t throw a fit.

Speaking of just running, check this video out. It’s about 5 1/2 miles into the race, and boy was I hurting:

Hahahahahahahahaha …. ye gads, is that really how I run? Yack. It looks like I’m really plodding along, certainly not at 6:30 pace. And I can certainly see why Gilbert is always saying things like “stabilize your trunk”, “I’m worried about your back”, “your core is weak”. Yowza, just watching that hurts.

Something else that hurts is my foot. Last week I dropped a can of frozed concentrated orange juice on it. Who’da thunk a 12oz can could hurt so bad and last for a week. And boy did the race do a number on my knee. Hey wait, “no whining” …. sorry.

700s today at Zilker. New to me. Managed nine, all pretty uniform without looking at my watch.
2.30, 2.28, 2.28, 2.30, 2.31, 2.28, 2.29, 2.23, 2.22. Ninety seconds jog across the soccer field. Ran by feel. Felt good. Just run, baby.

One rather ironic thing I don’t like about races is that they disrupt my running. I’m not at the level yet where I can just train through races or run long on Saturday and still race on Sunday. I feel like I need to take it easy the few days leading up to the race, usually even take a day off. Which means last week I only managed about 33 miles, and I didn’t like holding back even that little bit.

Last Tuesday was Meriden and I felt good. Actually, it was my fastest Meriden session, both average and absolute. 4.04, 3.53, 4.03, 3.56, 3.48. My usual average is around 4.10, so this was a fairly big jump. Thursday was 7-mile fartlek and it was an uneventful 51 minutes.

What’s next? Just run, baby.

    wow, you do look funny in that video. if it’s any consolation (and this will sound wierd), you don’t look like that in real life. i know, i know… the camera doesn’t lie, but i’ve run with you a lot and i barely recognized you in that clip. could it be that i always avert my eyes when we run together? or maybe it was just that last hill…

    its amazing how slow a 630 pace looks because in you mind you think you look like your going sooo much faster.

    It must be how you run when fatigued b/c you looked similar at the end of Bagelfest. Remember when I said it looked like you were jogging even though your pace was so fast (at Bagelfest)? Same thing here, and you can thank your long legs, I suppose. Also, watch the people in the clip with you. They look pretty tired and slow. I should have filmed more b/c everyone was struggling on that last hill.
