running faster
since i’m running at 10k in central park tomorrow, i just wanted to run a little bit today, two miles. so i decided to run them faster than i have been running lately. when i do more than a couple miles, i seem to be stuck at 10:20 per mile. which would be great except that on the treadmill i know that i can run something closer to 9:15-9:30. (don’t lecture me on the differences b/w treadmill and pavement, i know. my point it, i know my body is capable of moving faster, but i’m having trouble tapping into it.) but today i finally did a 9:33 mile and a 9:32 mile outside on the streets. that was a good shot in the arm for me, knowing that i can do it. not just gotta figure out how to incorporate that into my overall training. but i feel pretty good about it right now.
