Well our performance degradation coefficients are clearly very different. I am still shooting for 3:20 3:19:59, but the idea of getting deeper into the teens is certainly rattling around in my head. I need 7:38, and plan to target 7:35ish. But of course +/- a couple seconds and +/- a tenth or two of distance make all the difference, for better or worse. The course is a bit hilly which won’t help, but the weather forecast right now actually looks amazing—a big surprise for this time of year. Occasional showers, low 47, high 52! Fingers crossed anything resembling that holds.

you have increased your mileage a lot in the past year so I think you might surprise yourself.
