I actually pushed myself and (almost) accomplished my goal! I was supposed to run 5 miles at race pace which meant a 41:05 finish. But...Coach BB told me to finish going up my beloved hill. Usually that means I give up, drop my head, scrunch up my shoulders and start stomping my feet. It's really gorgeous running form, don't all world class runners do that? Needless to say, it's definitely not race pace and it's not helping me get up the hill any faster. So today I was supposed to keep pushing the pace all the way up the almost half mile long hill.
And I did it! My time was 41:06 which I was happy with considering the hill. I definitely felt different running up it, I was more focused and my form felt a little better. So it's a step in the right direction and I'm happy!
10 miles tomorrow with a fast finish...
