September 3 & 4, Labor Day weekend

On the down low

Five days from my 1500 meter race I’m still obsessing over legs that seem to be too tired, too often, too easy.  Yesterday, which was Saturday, I took off completely because of  nagging Achilles tendon pain.  Today,this beautiful fall afternoon, I spent at Holmdel Park circling the half-mile field by the starting line while Arlene searched for photo opportunities.  I was in motion for 40 minutes,  but I really wouldn’t call it running.  I walked two laps and ran very slow for 3 laps barely getting to a full stride at any point.  So, I will continue on this very weak, very conflicted and probably very ineffective training series. I keep telling myself that after this Saturday I will be getting on a smart and consistent program for the next 9 months.

Stats – Steady
