9/24 the count-down

Today is another physiologically important memory game.

So I did it on a track in Reno (which took quite a bit of effort as my normal Reno track was getting ready for a Wolf-pack game not 1 but 2 days later. I found the preparation to be a bit excessive but then, I'm selfish). 3 consecutive miles at race pace. The goal was to start at 8 min. 30 sec. move to 8min. 15 sec. then to 8

Pacing is soooo technical...
warm-up-1 mile
1st mile-8:49
2nd mile-8:53
3rd mile-8:12

The song "making me nervous" by Brad Sucks is maybe the theme song of my life right now... Inexcusable that it isn't on my shuffle for the race.

I have never set time goals for myself and not only are we our own worst critics (as the cliche goes) but we are our hardest coaches..
