A little over 90 days ago my old Drake Coach ran into me at the Bravo Gala. He asked if I had been running to which I had responded: "Not really." So he challenged me to run the Grand Blue Mile. But he went one step above that and he challenged me to break 5 mins. In college, I was able to get below 5 fairly easy.
However, I'm 32 now and (at this point) weighed 235. I accepted his challenge and started training in the dead of winter. Athena and I started running at 5 AM every morning. It was slow going, our pace was 8-9 min miles. Every day we got up and put in the miles.
Leading up to today, I wasn't sure if I would be able to break 5. But I was going to do my best to leave it all on the track. Over the past 90 days, I dropped down to 217 and my morning run pace was consistently 7:30. Once the gun went off I knew I was at the right speed. Coming around the 800 I was below 5 min pace. But in the last 600, I felt the gorilla on my back. People started passing me and I began to slow. I was hanging on for the ride. As I crossed the finish line I knew I gave it as much as I could. And I'm happy to say that I hit 5:26. It left it all out there. Maybe we can go sub 5 next year ;)

IT’S GONNA BE BRUTAL (42k//5:44h//8:16mpk//3,086km total)
___________________________________________________________
Today was marked by three different thoughts.
_
(1) After 10 days in Ensenada it was time say good bye. Something, that always seems to come with a certain amount of resistance, particularly if you end up at such a great place, like I did. Yet once you are on the road, 2km in, you wonder why you even hesitated in first place.
_
(2) As you can see I am running again, at least partly. It feels very liberating to move with a stride, to know I have this option back in my toolbox. These are the first humbled strides, short ones, with a high focus on posture and the emphasis on forefoot striking. Walked 17k and ran 25k today - that’s a start!
_
(3) By all means it was not a particularly hot day, 26* Celsius (shade), clear skies, a pleasant wind from behind even. I carried no extra water and was fine with appr. 1.5l for the marathon distance today. But the weather won’t stay like this. Day by day, the further south I come, it will become increasingly difficult to manage the heat, hydration & nutrition. I won’t worry for now, but rather sooner than later I have to cope!
_
Buenas tardes todos.
