Notes
Ouch! So, last night I got pretty drunk and was significantly hung over at 8am this morning. I also didn't get much sleep. Does this mean I'm not going on my run? Will I run a reasonable pace? Of course not! Julia and I ran the above 16 mile loop, which is difficult due to the elevation changes on the best of days. Today it damn near felt like torture. Amazingly, the run went really well. We were carrying a really good pace for the first 13 miles or so and then slowed down, but our pace extrapolated to a marathon (for which I would be rested, non-inebriated, fueled, etc) is a 3:40 pace. The tempo runs are making a big difference in the basal speed at whcih we run. To recap: Today's run was very painful......but fast and encouraging.
New goal for Disney: 3:25.....equals 7:50 pace.
