Yuck. My Saturday runs of late have been absolutely horrible. I just get out there and can't go at all. Well, for the most part. I was waiting at a very long stoplight and some kids on the BYU track team came up behind me. I knew they would be fast and let them go once the light changed, but stayed 10 feet behind them for a mile before they turned onto a different street. It wasn't very tough, and I knew I could have stayed for longer, especially if my body wasn't fatigued. It was a good marker for me to see how much I have improved. Average pace ended up being about 8 min/mile.
But, I am now establishing rules for my Friday activities. 1) In bed by 11. 2) Friday run needs to be in the morning to allow for 24 hour rest period 3) Don't go to parks in Provo in the middle of the night. Especially when there was an armed robbery a quarter mile away and the police are out looking with shotguns and rifles.
