After doing the recovery run on Monday, I had a corporate seminar two days in a row. The one on Tuesday was two hours. I had a 90-minute lecture after that in the evening back at my school in Akasakamituke. On Wednesday I had an even longer seminar which was 7 hours, the last 3 hours of which was all in English. My mind's batteries were pretty empty. I couldn't muster motivation. I chose to rest both Tuesday and Wednesday. Thanks to the rest, I felt recovered tonight. So I went out for a practice run, hoping to throw in some fast runs, but without deciding how many.
A 3.6 K jog took me to the water plant below. I ran around it counterclockwise till I came to the pack near the southeast corner where tap water is available. I rested for a minute and took off for a fast run around the plant. My target tonight is 9:54. One lap is 2.2 K, so it is a 4:30/K pace. I finished in 8:57.73. I ran at a 4:08/K pace. I was glad.
Due to the way faster pace than originally planned, I was naturally burned out after that first fast run. So I jogged back where I came from. When I reached the park near my house, my motivation was back, so I decided to do one more fast run, this time only for 1 K. I aimed at finishing under 4:00, and came back in 3:43.07. Not bad.
I slowly jogged back home and called it for the day.
