Old Man Walking
Me, KJ and Erin all made it out this morning, despite all of us having run Cesar Rodney yesterday. KJ pr'd big time, and broke 1:30 yesterday, while Erin paced Marita, who surprisingly did not have a good day. So most of our conversation was reliving yesterday's race.
We ran on the Acme loop until 52nd Street and Parkside, where I suggested we just go home and skip the hilly part of the loop. There really wasn't any point in flogging a pair of dead legs this morning, and the other two agreed. I don't want to measure out our loop, so I'm guessing a conservative 6.5 in 58:58.
Thinking more on yesterdays race, I see it puts me in about 2:40 marathon shape, meaning that I'm poised to potentially do well in Paris. Things are, of course never that linear. But it gives me a positive outlook. This is my last hard week and then its taper time. That, and the need to get regular again after last week's debacle, were the only reasons why I was out there this morning.
