Good for you, Saint. I'm with you all the way... Bill, awesome run... I agree with Enkie though, my plans would be foiled by not-so-well-placed hills. I did my last "long" run today, 10.25 miles of rolling hills, 8:08 avg pace. Nice to feel I wasn't really "pushing" it, but maintaining that pace for 10 miles is far different from keeping it up for 26.2... That wasn't my intended MP anyway, but I was trying to maintain about 8:15, but wanted a "kick" at the end. Here's what I got: 8:29 7:56 8:02 8:13 (hills...) 8:15 (more hills) 8:04 8:14 8:07 8:14 7:51 (Yeah, baby what a kick!) 7:45 (last .26 mile) So, guess I got what I wanted... some of those miles had good uphills but then they also had some downhill,so it sort of evened up. Just "little stuff" from now till next Monday so that's cool. I need to make sure I get some sleep!
