Met the running group at the store and new I wanted some faster miles, but no real plan. I headed out with the fast group and fell a little back from the leaders between miles 2-3 but caught up to them at the water stops. We ran part of the Cowtown course today and it was so nice to be off the trails. I love the trail system but we run it so much. Felt really good and talked to a few people about Houston and the plan...... A: Start with the 3:40 pacer and try to hang on B: Start with the 3:50 pacer and pick it up after the half I will most likely go with option B and I have come to terms with the fact that I have done the best I could with everything on my plate the past 8-10 weeks. Bottom line, I want to run it hard enough that I am sore enough on Monday.......I do not want to finish knowing I did not give it my all. Splits: 9:09, 8:13, 7:43, 7:43, 7:45, 7:51, 7:55, 8:04, 8:15 Avg Pace 8:06
