Notes
that is the 2nd leg in the relay at the windy and freezing day. Karin did her best in the 1st 3 mile run and I picked up the baton from her as early as I can. Then I blast out with the downhill speedy run, sub 5 pace. I slowed down to some 6 min pace, but still much faster than my 7 min goal--take it easy. I've probably passed one thousands of runners as Karin was kinda in the back of the crowd and a lot of marathoners were slow. It was cold, and this leg is flat. I tried to hold my pace to 7 min mile, but can not help accelerate into 6:18 in the 6th mile. But overall I feel very easy, and that 3 miles at ~7 pace give me the impression that I can hold it up for the whole marathon.
