Point Taken

Last night Blair and I were sitting on the couch, thinking about getting ready to go to bed.

"I have to do an 11-mile tempo run in the morning," I said. 

"I have to go to work for 10 hours," said Blair.

He wins. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to take a moment, though, and say this morning was a REALLY good run for me - the labor-intensive training is paying off. 11 miles at just under an 8:30 pace. I need to remember to GO OUT SLOW. I ripped through the first 5 miles at about an 8:12 pace and mile 8 was hit with fatigue. Slow and steady will take me farther, faster.
