Okay so today after I had a chat with my coach, I laced up my brooks and took a nice 3.5 mile run. The weather was damp, cool and overcast and I'd eaten whole oats with flaxseed earlier and had about a liter and a half of water beforehand so I felt good...time to go...
After about 2.5 and several gradual hill climbs and descents, I started to feel a little big fatigued but overall not bad...then mile 3 hit...and I didn't feel I could make it the rest of the way, so I just said to myself...one more step...one more step...
I crested a hill about a quarter mile from home and then it happened, 2nd wind...wow that feels so nice...my gate opened up and my stride lengthened and when I checked my stop watch the whole loop took me 31:49.
My next goal is to finish 4 miles in about that time...but today I made all 3.5 without stopping to walk! I'm pumped! Time to go fuel up and land planes!
Imagine!!!!
Happy Day! Way to go Mark!
