AM 21.50 in 2:51:17 (7:58). Started just before 5 AM behind the movie theaters in the Riverwoods and headed up just past 10.75, which put me pretty close to the top of South Fork. I was pretty cold all the way up until about mile 15 due to a steady, small breeze. Just took things very easy the whole way. Hardly looked at the watch. I will take things easy the next three days and hopefully will be able to run a good half on Wednesday. I'm excited to see how the improved training over the last 2 months helps with the race. Hopefully today's run didn't do more harm than good. |
