AM - 10 miles. Horsepark. Did a handful of 15-20 second accelerations on the way back.
Flying down to Phoenix after work tonight for Thanksgiving. Skipping the usual big extended family gathering in Connecticut (too much travel, too close to the marathon). I'm going to run a 10K in Mesa tomorrow morning. I know racing 10 days out from CIM would do much more harm than good, so I'm just going to treat it as a workout. Have some fun... my dad is going to run as well. Around 31:00-31:30 would be ideal, and a sub-max effort should be enough to win a turkey. Andrew Lemoncello has run in the 29s several times here in the past couple years, but I saw his name on the entry list for Fukuoka, so I'm guessing he won't be around. Now that's a marathon I'd really love to run someday. They pull you off the course if you fall behind 2:45 pace! If women were allowed in the race (its men-only), it would provide excellent incentive to hit their OTQ time.
