Run Derneld, Run!

No running at work. Too busy.

3.68 with Ellie, then she wanted to go home because of the cold. 2 more miles just before dinner.

6.51 easy miles at work, with 8x20 sec strides, separated by 1 minute jogs, towards the end of the run.

5.06 miles with Ellie in the evening.

7.2 miles at lunch time: One of my last workouts before race day. I did the following back-to-back, 1 mile @ threshold (6:53), 2 miles @ marathon goal (7:26 7:27), 1 mile @ threshold (6:38), 2 miles @ marathon goal (7:23 7:10). The last mile was a little fast because I kicked at the end. I am really excited to see how my performance has improved since last year when I raced in St George. I also know that if I let my excitement get the best of me, I will probably burn out early in the race, so I'll try and stay calm for the next 10 days...

5.15 with Ellie before dinner. Running was really fun today, it just felt so good to be moving.

4.34 towards the end of lunch time (crazy day at work).

5.1 with Ellie before dinner.

Sluggish-feeling day. Tomorrow is another day... 6.09 at lunch, 3.53 with Ellie before dinner

90 minute at moderate pace this morning with 2 sets of 6x20 second strides.

If anybody is reading this who has done the St George Marathon, I am looking for counsel from experienced persons. I've done the race once before, but faded in the last quarter. Any race-specific tips you may have for the race. This is my sixth marathon, but only my second St George Marathon.
