Came up the stairs from the locker room, no time to think, just get on and hit go. No, you cannot go back to work, you have to get this done. It doesn't matter that you aren't really training and Bob won't call to check in on Sunday, get this over with.
Alright, 3 miles that is 12 times around this electronic track. I can do this, hell, I did more than this all summer. Yeah, that was outside with the group and this is inside and alone, but it's kind of the same.
Go! First lap, shit, the timing was off, I have to speed this up if I'm going to make it back to work on time. God this really sucks, maybe I'll stop after a mile and try again later. SHUT UP! You are doing this, you are already here and sweat is building, you didn't waste your lunch for 1 mile.
Half way there!! Success!! 6 laps to go, maybe I can do this a little faster. Ohhh, hold on there, not too fast. Better, hold this pace for 2 more laps. Look at those runners outside running by the window, I should be out there. FOCUS! 4 more to go, lets get this over this, a little faster now.
Sweet!! 2 to go, lets fly now. Try to hold in the groans, there are other people around and they won't understand. And we are done, no time to celebrate, must get back to work. Next time remind Joe not to sabotage the outdoor morning run!
Miles trained today: 3
Days till the Manhattan Half: 53
