tempo run 6/26

So I got my ass up and out the door at 7 for a tempo run. I'm too lazy right now to look it up on my gps, but I ran about 3 miles in 28 minutes. Not very fast, but not terrible either.

I am getting terribly nervous about my 1/2 marathon in September. K. is going to kick butt and I am probably going to crawl over the finish line in the last hours of the whole damn race.

I was talking to a friend who is doing an iron man triathalon in 2 weeks. It sounds HARD. My measly 13 miles seems like nothing compared to his goal.

But, hey...you got out the door and you are doing it. There are many who haven't made it that far.

13 miles (or 21 K up here in canada aye) is anything but measly.

You will do it. Once you hit that 16 K mark you know you have done it. you can do 21 K no problem.

A race has a different energy than training and the mood around you will speed you along. This I promise.
