9/13/08 girlfriend training

Today, I actually got up and stuck to my training schedule which was to run five miles. I ran the miles in 40 minutes. I checked my pace through out the run and it was about the same. Goal is to train the speed throughout the race. I was finding that I would start off steady and drop down towards the end of the race, reading in the October runners world you have to train your brain to be consistent and that is what I was trying to do. Tommorrow on the schedule is a 10 miles will try sport beans or glu and even getting up about 2 hours before to eat oatmeal to see if that will help my performance in my run.
