rainy 6 tonight as i made one of the biggest decisions of my running life...im still sorting it out, i have decided to up my registration to the full marathon this weekend. i am not specifically trained for the full, but i think that it is a now or never type deal, and i have put up more weekly mileage than at any point ever before. Thus, my goal is to finish..period. i want to do a marathon..period. once i do a marathon, i will have crossed it off my list, and maybe the 1:20 half wont seem as daunting. My half-marathon specific workouts have been lackluster as of late...not that a 1:20 was going to be impossible..its just one of those things that i feel like the full is the right decision. I'll be hurting afterwards, but i wanna get it out of the way and call myself a marathoner. Tonight's 6 felt easy and smooth, 6:59, 6:46, 6:48, 6:50, 6:54, 7:20 hill, total...41:39, 6:56.5 avg pace. Although i have no specific time goal for the marathon this weekend, i want to go out about 7:00-7:10 for the first couple of miles and shoot for 1:30 in the half. Very slow and very methodical and easy. Now to find the right shoes...
