I am a little concerned, though, that you are being too hard on yourself after Saturday's race. <br /><br />After running 15K on Saturday, you immediately set out with a harder workout on Sunday and then again, today. <br /><br />You do not need to punish yourself (what it seems like you're doing). <br /><br />You are so talented and amazing - you can run long distances, period, but also you have created a successful blog, started Operation Beautiful, got a book deal, went back to school to eventually become "Dr. Caitlin," and much more. <br /><br />I think you need to stop for a few seconds and really let these great things sink in. Give your hardworking body (and brain) a much-deserved break. After a little rest, then concentrate on setting up a plan that will help you increase your pace. <br /><br />Remember - you are beautiful no matter what your pace or final race time was/is in the future!

(: I'm no pro, but I really think you could make some serious improvements with just a little more planning. AND, training that way will give you a much better idea if your race goals are realistic. Good luck. With your attitude & work ethic, I have zero doubt you'll do whatever you set your mind to. Awesome.

(: QUestion...do you do pace-based workouts? In other words, do you plan to do some workouts at an easier pace and others at a fast pace. Smart Coach on runnersworld.com can be a great tool. I have found that running at the same pace all the time hindered my performance. Having 1 day for speed, another for long slow distance, etc. really helped. So much more I could say, but good luck girl. You're doing great. (: Good for you for getting your motivation mojo back. (: QUestion…do you do pace-based workouts?
