Mikes Program Begins Today

Program begins today....so xc begins today...

Ran the 4 mile am run and there is no pm run today.
Ran to the white house and back exactly 4 miles pretty sweet.
Time: 30:38.
Mile 1-7:57
Mile 2-7:40
Mile 3-7:30
Mile 4-7:30ish

Mike told me that the easy runs should be 8 minute mile pace. It was actually really uncomfortable trying to go the 8 minute mile pace. I felt terrible the first mile trying to go 8 minutes. My body just wanted to go faster naturally and even though I thought I was slowing below down for the next mile to hit 8 minutes it was getting faster. I felt I was putting more effort into going slower at 8 minute mile pace than I was just naturally running easy. I will have to get used to it because I am going to need the mileage and they need to be a rather easy pace. I am really excited this is where it all begins....

I kinda doubt I'll be running the boilermaker, I've realized that with Mike's new plan, I want to just keep every thing kind of slow and relaxed and I dont think I want to try to shift it up for a race.
