We’re at the airport about to board the plane back to Atlanta. It was an interesting race yesterday, I don’t think I raced well at all. I just mentally felt like I was over-tired, over-trained and feeling kind of frustrated. I’ve been spending a lot of time with the Sliders-Sarah and her husband Steve are both excellent runners and have been encouraging me to rethink my coaching situation and look for different options. I also spent a lot of time with one of the Kenyan’s here- he explained the Kenyan way: keeping your easy days super easy so I’m going to rethink the way I’m training and look for ways I can do more workouts but just make them easier instead of the intense workouts. In the meantime, I’ve been having so many hormonal problems that I’m going to probably need to rethink everything and take it easy for a month to recover…. off to Atlanta.

Jim filmed my warm up ritual… may not be too entertaining but here it is:

…And here’s my finish at the Bermuda 10k- not as good as I had hoped
