AM/Lunch: 4 miles. Did a few strides.

It was snowing. Individual Snowflakes, the size of snowballs, falling at snowglobe pace.

Should be ready to go for tomorrow. Plan is to keep most of the race in the 5:40s except for mile 7-8, which looks a bit nasty, until mile 8 and then pick it up, giving it heck the last 5k, which is basically the same as the last 5k of the Rock and Roll. I dropped about 20 seconds off from my time on that last fall.

A- goal <1:16:02 (a PR)

A goal <1:15:30

A++ goal <1:15 (unless I am underestimating my fitness this might take a few more cracks)

I hope I have a good race. I really need it.

I like how instead of an A/B/C goal, it's A-/A/A+. I never thought of that! You teacher types have all the good tricks.

Good luck!!
