Notes
With the marathon postponed til fall, I figured I’d rip something today and take a break for a few days since it’s been since last summer. Forrest joined me on the bike for this venture. Stuck to the half route for just about all except the last half mile where we went off road for a bit.
In a weird state of mind for a lot of this, just continually coaxing myself to finish this. Getting through Meadowbroom was key as I’ve skipped that part on two training runs. Ten mile PR gave me some hopes but was mainly just trying to apply the pressure to stay under 6 minute pace. The wind was everywhere for the better part of this with miles 5.5-8.5 being about the only ones without our blustery friend.

I would say I was under control for just about all of this. Forrest was trying to get me to another gear the last mile and I was trying but my calf started going out with a half mile to go. Managed to keep it together and finish with close to a two minute personal best. And now I rest
