After reading Fig’s post, “Just Say No” and Chris’s take on it, I was determined not to get all whiny on my little run around the neighborhood this morning before I got ready for work. I was out for about 30 minutes and my legs felt kind of heavy, but I sucked it up and did most of my distance in bursts of under 9.5 minute miles (fast for me). The sun was shining, the air was crisp, the sidewalks were dry, and the mountains looked gorgeous.
I won’t say I felt great or anything, but I sure felt good to have it done.
Tomorrow I’m racing the last XC 8k of the season. I will savour every second and do my best!
All Downhill From Here 
Sometimes “after” is the best. But that’s ok! Good for you, and good luck today.

Hope that your race went very well. 9.5 minute pace? That sounds terrific to me. Smile. That post by Chris was good for sure.
