Well, this is it...I have followed the plan, done the training. Now it is time to put my body to the test.
I don't know if I have a sub 4 hour in me but I am going to give it my all and just be happy when I cross that finish line.
I finished up this week with a 6 mile recovery run Monday morning. 58:15, 9:43 pace. It was harder then it should have been.
Tuesday morning was a "dress rehearsal". 7 miles with 2 at marathon pace. 1:03:53, 9:08 pace. The two pace miles were done in 8:38 and 8:33. Much too fast. Hope I can do a better job of pacing myself tomorrow.
Wednesday was a rest day.
Thursday was 5 miles with 6 x 100. 46:04, 9:12 pace
This morning was my last 4 mile recovery run. I ran it at 5, just doing loops of my neighborhood. 37:36, 9:25 pace.
I am leaving in the morning at about 4:30-5:00. It is about an hour and a half to two hour drive. Start time is 8am.
I have done all I can do, now it is time to go and enjoy the race.
Good luck!!! You rock - you can do it!!!
