Notes
You know, if this was a long run to size me up for a 3:20 marathon, I would feel really good. But it was for a 3:15 marathon, and I couldn't finish 5 miles at that pace. However, other than the 8 mile bathroom break, I never stopped running. I ran slow, but I never stopped. That should be good to finish the marathon at a decent pace, but not PR. I don't think I want to race it unless I PR..... Ice bath afterwards.
If you count the 6 middle miles I did 7:35, but that's because I stopped doing GMP@7:22 after 5, so instead it's 8miles @8:20, 5 miles @7:23, and 9 miles @8:38 (Give or take a second on the last two splits). Now, to CIM, or not to CIM?
Ok, just spent about 30 minutes looking at notes before Eugene and last few weeks. I'm running the same as I was before Eugene, and I was more beat up then. The other difference is I already made Boston, I have no other incentive to deal with the torture that was Eugene. If I can find a reason to break 3:15, I should have the same result.
