Afternoon Run

Morning Run

First race of the year. Finally got it out of my system. It ended up being a hard painful race but so beneficial for improving. Vince push me so hard today. I was surprised someone can keep up with me today. I got fast and hard. But Vince caught up to me after 10min or so. And push the big hill. But at some point my strength prevailed but not by much. He came back for the second time when I turned back at like mile 8 or 10 he was within range. So I never relax. I push to the end. Like an animal. Happy for the win. 

It also put my right foot to the test. Luckily my right foot metatorsal severe injury actually heal up properly. I’m so grateful that the injury didn’t retired me for life. So grateful I can put force like an elephant on the ground. 

I was gonna race a flat fast course in San Jose 408 half marathon. But opted to do my home ground race. The pace today shows I’m ready for a flat course. 

Good news on my second build up. Things are popping. Next week I’ll probably sharpen my speed by going to the track. 

My strategy is long distance plus speed plus tempos. Lots of lots of pace workouts. That always works for me.
