Met with Jon at the Planet Walk and we ran a few easy miles together. It was awesome weather and I was feeling pretty good. The taper is kicking in now. I am starting to feel like I have more energy and am more tempted to push the pace. My legs are sore from yesterday, but I really only felt it during the couple of strides I did and not at the easier paces. My plan for St. George is to run with the pack for as long as I feel I can without pushing myself too hard the first few miles. Hopefully, I will feel well enough to stay with them through the half in about 1:17-1:18. If I feel like I should tone it down a bit, I will go thru the half no slower than 1:20-1:21. After that, it is fair game to let loose and go for a 1:16 second half. I figure that worst case goal is 2:40. Better goal is 2:38. Best case goal is 2:35. Anything faster than that, and I will buy everyone an ice cream or something as I will be quite happy. T- 56:20 (7:30) 147 |
