Good morning TheEd!
Came back to report last Sunday's 10K. I ran in 36:57, very near the sub 37 I guessed I should aim to. I gave it all and I think I could not have run faster. The race was very crowded and we had a hard time running comfortably until well entered the first km. Then on km 5 many people ended his 5K race and there was not many people aiming at my pace for the 10K so I ran km's 6 to 9 pretty alone. I catched up also with a lot of slow 5K runners so I had to start avoiding them, with all this altogether and considering that the race environment wasn't the most appealing, I began to release myself and start thinking of ending at whatever pace I could. Then on km 9 a runner picked up with me and that triggered again my competitiveness so I did a fast km again applying myself as much as I could to end in just sub 37.
Now I have to think about whether I should end or not the season here in order to prepare myself for the coming races in September/October. I'd like to discuss a little bit more about this but I have the feeling you're a little bit busy these days. Hope you are doing well
