rockland lake lap in 26:07
I am still sitting here in stunned disbelief.
I spent years trying to get that run in under 30 minutes.
years.
when I finally did it, I was just elated.
since then, i broke 30 minutes a few times. If I was trained, I figured that I could do it at will.
Yesterday, I was trained. So I thought I'd go for 29:something.
I figured, maybe, just maybe, if I had a good day, I could break 29.
After a half-mile, I looked at my watch and saw my pace was 8:45. oops. Better back off.
So I did, and the next two miles I held my pace right at 9. To my utter disbelief, I didn't slow down below this.
Add a finishing kick, and, well, there ya go. something like an 8:52 pace. lapped the lake in 26:07. 2.95 miles.
I might have conceded that sub-28 was possible. Everything would have to click.
I'd never believe sub-27. Never.
Pushing sub-26? didn't even think about it, it was too crazy.
what the hell happened?
