Wow. That sucked. I have no idea what happened, but I died after mile 7 today. Today was supposed to be my last long run over 10 miles, but I only got about 9.5, and 1.5 of that was walking. I mean, I went out fast to see how my body would handle it during the marathon, but it's not like I was running sub-7:00. Body's just tired I guess. First three miles - 7:30 min/mile. Tried to have a rest mile (8:18) and then speed up again for two more miles but just couldn't. Maintained about 8:32 the rest of the way (except for an extended walking period). This cannot happen during the marathon. I have to rest next week and get my body at 100%
