Thanks everyone for the well wishes and all the advice. This forum helped me a lot! I learned a lot just lurking. When I started feeling weaksauce, I thought about the RR i was going to write. I wanted it to have a happy ending, so I didn't quit. Hell, I got faster at the end. I'm off for the 2nd part of my day- Blues and Brews craft beer festival fundraiser put on by the local PBS station. The race was a fundraiser for them as well. I'm going to drink my weight in good beer 3oz at the time.

Your splits look wonderful. You done good.

Yeah! I checked your splits rather rapidly, but it sure looks like a negative split race to me! That's excellent!
I ran 12 with some MP thrown in
2 miles MP + 1 mile Easy + 2 miles MP
No. Dress rehearsal FFS.
I didn't do a dress rehearsal. Is that when you wake up at the same time you will on marathon day, have the same breakfast, start running at the same time, in the same clothes, except for less miles, and at a slower pace? Is that it? I'm always curious about that kind of stuff.
In yellow shoes?? WTF yo, you getting soft on me?
I juat now got back to my car. It was 40 and clear at the gun. I had a pretty good run.( i killed it!) 1:50:58 gun / 1:50:40 chip

Just wait. Pretty soon we'll have you doing speedwork twice a week.
No, it's my longest MP run. I suppose I should have just said that.
Me neither. All that stuff is figured out over the years you run. I do have issues with certain types of clothing but that is figured out over the course of the cycle, not necessarily during one run.
Yep, we're good for that!

If I can handle it, and recover decently- I'm all in.

Woo hoo!!

Ran 6.2 miles on the trails with the K9's, it was 41 degrees but with a feels like 36.... I hate this first day of cold weather after long weeks/months of hot weather.... I always screw up my wardrobe damn it because I forgot what it was that I wore last winter
I tried to get the goofballs to hold still for a selfie, Jetta's damn ears are almost too big to fit in the frame
Hoping to get another 6 miles in today for a total of 12 or so... we'll see how the day goes.
