I was feeling really stale and the weather was supposed to be nice so I went for an 8 mile run this morning. I took it really easy, 7:30 pace feels pretty easy. It was just what I needed as I worked out some of the kinks I was feeling this week.
Mile splits were 7:50, 7:38, 7:31, 7:25, 7:14, 7:01, 6:59, 7:58.
My goal is to run the first 16 miles at around 6:45 pace, then hold steady at around 7:00 pace for the next 4 miles up the hills, and then give it all I have left for the last 10k. We will see how it plays out.
There is a 20% chance of rain as of today. The high should be in the upper 50s with possible wind from the east (in our face at the end).
I hope to be able to update the blog while I am there. Wish me luck!
