Felt real tired yesterday afternoon and still this a.m. when I woke up. Didn't feel like getting up. Didn't feel like running. 2 miles into my run I felt GREAT! Ran 5 miles easy - only 1 1/2 at 5K pace though. The rest was an easy pace. Les I confuse you, at this point my 5K pace and marathon pace and 10K pace for that matter is all the same. It shouldn't be but that's just how it is. I want to do some speed work and get my 5K pace much faster than my 10K and/or marathon pace but at this point I am more concentrating on maintaining the pace for the long term - endurance. After the end of the year, or sometime into next year, I'll work on speed work and really trying to become competitive on the 5 and 10K levels. Right now though, I have marathon on the brain :~) I need to get that goal under my belt, then I'll move on to the other...
