Well, I made it through the work-week training. Five-mile Monday and six-mile Wednesday were with the group and yesterday I was on my own. Well, OK, "with the group" more being me and a trainer, and the other guys (7:30 mile pace, egads!) with the other trainer. But I made it, I ran it, and I even made myself go out yesterday alone to do a few miles. I don't think I made it the whole five miles, but I give myself a pass since it was really windy and 80-some degrees out. I did get at least four, I think.
Now I just have to gird my loins for the Seven A.M. 5K time trial run on Saturday. Seven. On Saturday. As Holly Golightly would say, "Quel nightmare!"

Whoa! 7:30 is FAST. And ridiculous, frankly. I wish that you lived nearby... I would make you feel much better about your pace, as mine would probably make you look like a jackrabbit if we ran together :)
Don't lose heart. Do you have anyone who will run with you for the actual race? You should put out a plea for a partner on your blog.
I'm playing with my new wireless mouse on my laptop. i losve it. You need to know how lucky you are. mud or not B.B. King is playing the Rialto and the tickets are $110 and down. You got to see him for Free - cool. See you Sunday. Have a good run.
