Solid run, but I'm thinking 6:25-6:29 may be too ambitious for fall marathon - started fading at the end of the 9 at that pace... Goal weight for marathon race weight achieved! (at least, unitl I eat and rehydrate from this morning's run)
a little late, but good luck to all the Ironmen and women in Louisville today! My longest run of the training cycle (this morning) pales in comparison to your accomplishments in just getting to the starting line of that monster :)

| Night before the marathon, we decided to bandit/jog the 5k they were holding (as part of the marathon events) - kept it at moderate to easy pace - just a shake out after the 12 hour car ride up to Marquette from Indiana. 5k - 22:33. Friday night run, marathon in the morning.

Marquette Marathon (pacing) (26.2 Miles) 03:11:49 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 26.83 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 26.83 |
| Marquette Marathon in Marquette, MI. This is about a 10-12 hour drive North of where Nathan and I live in Indiana. Nathan drove the whole way, while I was along for the ride. His awesome 2 kids and wife in the back. We also were meeting another of my good running buddies, who is also going for a BQ. I was really looking forward to this, as it was my first attempt at pacing somebody in marathon. Our carefully calculated planned pace is 6:50-7:00/mile range. Nathan is going for 3:10 for BQ35-39, while our other buddy is going for 3:05 BQ-U35.
We're looking good for about 18 miles on this 2-loop course. Right around there, there is a healthy climb for about 1.5-2mi. It was right around here that Nathan unfortunately got a hamstring cramp. So we really started pumping the fluids in to him at the next waterstops. Amazingly, Nathan toughed out a very painful last 10k and hovered right around 8 minute pace, literally hobbling and visibly limping at some points. What a ballsy effort! We wound up a little short of the BQ 3:10, but Nathan ran a 5 minute PR, nonetheless!!
Splits really tell the story:
6:57, 6:59, 6:51, 7:03, 6:57, 6:49, 7:00, 6:48, 6:52, 6:55, 6:51, 7:15, 6:54, 6:51, 6:55, 7:06, 7:09, 7:18, 7:39, 7:37, 8:08, 7:54, 8:15, 8:40, 8:11, 7:14, 2:42 for 0.3mi.
26.3 mi. - 3:11:49
