Hello Masters,
I was very happy with my training this week. 85km ( 53mi) total with a 25km long run today that was mostly at 4:10/km pace. Ran every day and hit the gym for 3 quality workouts.
Next race is the Yongdong Grape Marathon on August 30th. Looking forward to it for two reasons. 1) My mom is coming to Korea for a visit, so it will nice to compete in front of the one who made my early road racing career possible. It will probably be the last time she sees me race competitively.
2) I am also looking for a bit of revenge. Last year, I had the fastest chip time in this race, but wasn't able to catch the winner at the line. Buried at the start as usual, but this was the first time it actually made a difference. The winner crossed the start line a full 2 seconds ahead of me.
Hope everyone enjoys the World Championships this week.
Bob
