Some days you just have one of those runs. It's effortless. You float along and there's no pounding, jarring, aching, and the little niggles are silent. The pace comes easy. I haven't had a run like that in a long time. I've run three of the last four days and yesterday was intense. So, I wasn't expecting today to be easy. But it was. Well, relatively. The point is, I felt good and I just wanted to run longer and faster.
My running has been suffering for some time. I just haven't been able to muster the paces I'd become accustomed to. I've been starting to think that I've passed my peak and this is just how it's going to be. A long, slow, descent of ever-slower runs as I age. Yes, yes, I know that will happen. But maybe not yet.
Anyway, the title of this post. I've been extra disciplined this last two weeks. Performing every training session to the letter and logging every workout. It's been focused and goal oriented and good. So, perhaps with some discipline and patience, I'll have a few more good runs.
