Last chance for a dress rehearsal of the marathon. Wore the clothes, the sunglasses (on the back of my head) the pace band, and the shoes. Ran 2 miles at GMP this morning and they felt pretty good, no stomach issues. Temp was 70 degrees which is cooler than the last few days but still pretty warm. Not that I ever consider MP miles "easy" but generally they were easy. I've had a little tightness in my calves the last few days, could be the lingering effect of whatever bug I have had in my body. I will plan to do extra stretching the rest of this week to try and work that out. At this point the training part of this race is pretty much over. Gotta be careful with the diet for the next few days and eat smart. Plan to run 4 then 3 then 2 over the next three days just to keep the legs awake. Nothing faster than 8:00/mile. Also plan to get more sleep. So there is the plan, let's hope for a good execution.
Time: 47:44 7:57/mile |
