Total 9 K: 57:38.54
My personal goal today was originally doing six sets of 1 K @ 4:00/K pace, and finishing under 3:50.00 in at least two sets. The result is...I came under 3:50.00 in the first two, and came under 4:00 in the third, but got burned out there and couldn't go on. Is it a failure? I don't think so. I pushed beyond my limit, esp. in the first lap. I ran as if there was no tomorrow. This is something I didn't used to do before. In the past I would pace myself from the start so that I would be able to complete all six. Completing had a priority. But today I didn't care if I couldn't complete it. I just wanted to run fast! And I wanted to continue to do so till I got burned out. And burned out I did get. And that's OK. Next time I do it, I would like to run faster in the first set. And I hope to do it just one more set.
