Again, hats off to the race staff...exceptionally well organized race.
Controlling that urge early in a race to sprint off is something I really struggle with, so maintaining that self-discipline this morning and purposefully forcing myself to stay between 6:30 and 7/mile pace makes me extremely happy.
Training has been lame as of lately. I've been fighting a persistent cold and my work schedule has been brutal...but these are poor excuses that I would not have tolerated in the past. I'm going to lay out a more detailed training and race calendar for this year. I miss being fast like I was in my early-twenties (sheesh, am I getting old?).
