Had a good 9 miler at Townlake this morning in 1:45. The goal was 10 but I'm really happy with the way it turned out this morning. I started at the Y and headed to the Mopac footbridge first but had a hard time getting in a groove. I was mixing in plenty of walking and debating about whether or not to go for the whole enchilada.
As I was approaching I35 I pretty well had my mind made up to continue on east but hesitated as I got to the stairs. I stopped at the stairs, stepped up one step and stood there for a minute debating with myself.
Internally I was actually laughing at myself about my indecision!
Ultimately I decided to continue up the stairs and add on to what was now the 7 mile loop. I didn't want to get in a situation where I would need to push myself to hard just yet. I knew that I could add on and finish early and be to work in plenty of time to get in some good stretching before I got too busy. And that's exactly how it worked out. As I ran I continued feeling better and stronger and did the Lamar/ Congress loop for a 2 mile add on to successfully continue on my comeback mission!!
