Small workout. 3x(1T,2min). Feeling more pre-race jitters than I'm used to. Thinking this will be more of a B+ race for me. (6.6 in 0:52:23)

Quick run on the treadmill at work. I almost didn't have any time to run today, and squeezed a small 25 minute window a little after noon. 2x(1T,2min). (3.5 in 0:25:00)

No morning run, set my alarm for 5AM and almost slept all the way (woke up at 4:52AM).

Lunch run. Hustled at 3/2 breathing for the majority of it. A good effort to hear myself breathing, but nothing too exciting. (4.24 in 0:33:44)

True chip time was 3:08:10. At about mile 8, I knew that I wasn't getting anywhere near sub-3. BUT this was a great race for me. Well before the halfway point, I felt myself fading. Even though I knew I wasn't getting my goal, I decided early to give this race my very best. I gave 100% and feel really good about it. The neatest thing is that around mile 19, it paid off that I kept pushing, as I passed a few people that had passed me when I was fading earlier. I'm not sure why, but I definitely got a second wind about 75% through the race and kept it until the end. If think I ran a really good race and there's not much I could've done differently during the race. After finishing, my fatigue hit me like a train and I had nothing left, not even for a really short and slow cool down (I tried). Something I can improve in the long term: get back to 140 lbs. I think that's the biggest difference between my performance today and my PR at STG last year when I was 10+ pounds lighter.
