Notes
Ran pretty easy tonight w/Glenn and JR out about 2 miles on Virginia then circled back on Kanawha Ave. It was hot and humid but it did'nt feel as bad as i thought it was going too. I tolerated the heat better than my Garmin did. It was going crazy at the beginning of the run with the pace, and was'nt tracking the mileage, so i turned it off and then back on and started then the pace was at like 14:34 for the first minute or two then it started straightening out as we were near the 1 mile point of the run. I really was'nt too concerned with it tonight since i wanted just to keep the effor very relaxed. It all worked out to where i hit the 4 mile mark as i got back to UC. The other two slowed it down enough to where i could run with them for all but the last .50 or so when they dropped it down under 8:00 pace and i just did not want to go there at that point so i finished 10 to 15 seconds back from them. I really felt like my legs were back to normal after this run which was a concern for me coming into the run. Splits for the run r a little scattered but here they r:(4:18 for .35 totally inaccurated at a 12:21 pace!),8:19,8:13,8:00, and 5:23 for .66-8:08 pace. I keep reminding myself that the training is done at this point so i don't screw things up b4 Saturday. I know the conditions will b tough, but i am still excited to get to run this race for the 1st time since 2009. I am going to run the best race for the conditions on that given day and leave it at that!
