Single: Well today was my last “run” before the race. I will
do two on Friday but that is more or less just giving the nerves a chance to
relax. As usual I’m not feeling great going into the race but as usual that
doesn’t mean too much. My breathing was still good but my legs were flat. My
left glut didn’t want to work and my right IT was tight but again I’m sure this
is just prerace jitters. Right at the start I ran into a guy training for
Boston. I ran the first two miles in the SNOW (yes it was snowing AGAIN) with
him. He is a teacher at East, we talked about what not to do at Boston and he
told me about what a good time he had at SLC last year, he even negative split
it. The snow was nothing like yesterday. In fact it was sunny and 44F when it
was snowing??? At the Firehouse I left him and did two miles at MP, they were
the aided miles into Memory Grove and felt comfortable, 5:42 HR 163, 5:55 HR 164,
and then back. Mi 8-T1 Avg. 7:12 HR 153
