So I went and got me a coach. He's a runner friend that I have decided to use as a coach to reach some lofty goals I have set for myself. After yesterday, not sure if I can possibly reach them.
My first assignment...time trial. So, yesterday, all ready to go...I decided to do a 3 mile, relatively flat time trial.
1st mile: 9:20. Feeling good, confident that my splits were going to be good.
2nd mile: first part, look down, I am running 9:15...nice.
then...about a quarter mile, it all fell apart. Right calf on verge of cramping. Just no go.
3rd mile: walking mostly. Then, last mile, run at about 9 minute pace because there were some creepy people on the path I was running and I wanted to get to my car, stat.
So, will attempt again today and try to hydrate better throughout the day.
oh yeah, temps were about 89 yesterday...May 1st....89. nice and H.O.T.
confidence is not high at this point. ugh.
Today is a new day and I am going to see what I can do. Also, logged all my food yesterday. Let the training begin!! running and weight loss training....
