Nine weeks done. Three weeks to go. While running your 3-miler today, contemplate your race run yesterday.
Races are fun.
Try to learn from every race you run in. Four miles today, a shift downward in distance from the 6 miles run last Tuesday. One of the reasons is to allow you just a bit more recovery after the race you ran last weekend. Make this an easier workout than usual. Continue to focus on your running, and don't allow your mind to drift, particularly on the back straightaway when the fast pace may feel painful.
