I need to keep it in check. I was supposed to run in a simple road race this am. No big deal but my coach wanted me to be in zone 3 into 4. I realized today after sleeping in because my legs are so fatigued- that on my 12 mile run on friday which was supposed to be all aerobic, i pushed at the end. I am convinced that contributed to me being sorer than i should have been. I tend to try and eek every ounce out of a workout as possible and i do think it's taking a toll on subsequent workouts now that my milage is building.

Deciding to be more accurate to my plan and less about pushing each workout to my max... The reason for the post is that although intellectually I know this, I let the focus on the wisdom of the plan deteriorate ever so slightly, because i think i'll just get that much better, only if... or just a bit harder, or......

and so on.

Perhaps on the opposite front, i need to push through my swimming DRILLS- despite my feeling that I absolutely stink at them. Trust the process, and push through the difficulty there....
