Easy run to shake things out before tomorrow's race. Foot is 100% but lower legs still feel a little achy. Just couldn't get into a groove. I have to convince myself to push hard tomorrow and allow the race to hurt. I struggle with running too conservatively and avoiding the pain threshold. According to Paul's course profile, the half marathon should be pretty fast. Other than the first 1.5 miles, there is potential to run a lot of fast miles coming down the canyon. Last year when I ran the full, my legs were too trashed to take advantage of the downhill but do remember being able to get in a couple of pretty fast miles. Total Time: 31:32 (7:53/mile) |
