I can run another 10K, and need to before considering 13.1

PT with JH
BIKE COMMUTE about 1.4 miles

Otherwise, rest!

I asked JH if it was reasonable to expect to do a 13.1 in September. He seemed to indicate 'yes', but said I needed to do at least one more 10K first. Because 1+1 =/= 2 in the running world, in part.

I wish I'd made better notes of the discussion. Because now (on Monday) looking back my mind has frag'd it a bit, idealized and re-written as I needed it.

Slayed a dragon in PT, seems a silly thing. But when he tells me to tighten my gluts I don't always do it, or I try to hide it. Self conscious about it? I'm not self conscious about tightening my abs or shoulders. And do I really think he can't tell I'm not doing it? Do I really think he'd rather I don't do it? Do I think there's some benefit to not doing it? So I HTFU and just did it.

JFC, as I like to say.

So once I had a moment at work I checked the race calendars. There's a 10K on Saturday (tomorrow) and then not another for 2 weeks on the last weekend in July. When he said I can run another 10K I'm not sure he meant tomorrow and rush right into it without clear cut goals. I started a text to set up the question - to ask what my goals should be - but it sounded so dumb I never sent it. Again, JFC.

My impression of the goals are to race the Mental Game, no the Physical one. Let people pass me. Make myself walk as needed. Stay within my own race.

Well, I'm registered. Goals or not, I'm running it!
