Stars !

AAAGGH ! I hate when people get to me. It doesn't usually happen but for some reason it happened today and not just one person but two?!?. Leaving work it stayed in the back of my mind and I had trouble forgetting about it. That's why I love running and fishing. I can get out on the road or out on ocean and clear the mind. The plan was an easy 15k and in the first 7k I almost felt like I was at about 5:25 pace or slower. I made a decision to add a k on at half way because I felt like I wasn't going hard enough so I had to go longer, if that makes sense?.
At the 13k mark I checked Garmin (normally I don't check it till I get home) and my pace was a surprising 5:15 so I pushed hard for the last 3k and came in at 16.5k at 5:10 pace.
I sat down on the grass looked up at the stars and my hassles were gone, all I was thinking about now was my next run.
That felt good.
I am planning to try get out to the 10k at the BRRC on the 16th. At this stage I have not done any speed training so it might be just a run with a lot of socializing.
Take care
