9 mile loop at Suwanee Creek Park with a friend, more easy miles, 8:45 pace. Will be tough miles this weekend ... but weather is absolutely perfect! weekend high of 67 & low of 41! Should be 48 at race start tomorrow for 10k & 42 on Sunday for Half! Sweet!!! Would be sweeter if I had tapered & was actually racing all out, but these are just marathon pace runs, maybe a tad faster ... looking more for solid back to back workouts... than an all out effort that wipes me out. PM - I was feeling a little nervous about running 19.3 miles hard this weekend, so I went out for a little drive. I purchased my sub 3 hr marathon shoes, then went to a nearby local park & ran a 1.5 mile paved loop around a lake @ 8:15 pace. This weekend will be perfect for breaking them in, and since I know they are fast, I no longer have to worry about running fast this weekend! :)
