Race Morning
The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just plain terrible. ~Jean Kerr
My alarm went off at 5:30 but it was unnecessary, as I’d been staring at the ceiling for the last 10’ pretending to sleep. I dressed and followed the cat outside receiving a curious look, before setting off for an easy mile jog around the neighborhood (it’s slick out there as the roads are covered in black ice).
Once home, I had a quick shower while waiting for the bread to brown and the water to boil. Two pieces of peanut butter on toast & at least one cup of coffee prepared to Turkish standards, “black as hell, strong as death and as sweet as love”, my typical pre-race meal.
Training: an extremely pedestrian 6:37

Well, my run today was at pretty much the same pace, but there was nothing pedestrian about it.
My morning jaunt may have been closer to 1,200m rather then 1,600m. I was pumped to read about your back-to-back runs, keep up the good work!
