Nice solo run this morning, watching the sun come up. Started to feel the old runner in me coming back. Still took 2-3 miles to warm up. Over all pace about 9:30, not great- but that's as good as its going to get at this point so close to the marathon. Did have a little arch pain afterwards, looks like I'll be doping with ibuprofen pre-race. Here's the marathon goals:
Ambitious Gold- 3:45:XX (BQ)
Attainable Silver- 3:52:XX
Acceptable Bronze- anything under 4:00, last years SGM's time
Getting excited, esp. to see FRB friends, go to expo and get 'er done! Hope the weather is as delightful as it was last year. Its a treat to have such a great marathon in my own backyard, I'll try to enjoy every second of it! |
