Easy lunch run down to Mill Race Marathon expo downtown.  Bought some gels and looked around for about 5min. and ran back home.  A junky/bum that had all of their belongings and was sitting right beside traffic on the bridge yelled at me as I passed going back home.  Pretty disturbing and mean spirited comment/tone.  Kinda ruined the otherwise pleasnt experience of the run.  7.5mi. total - 1:06:53

Mill Race Marathon 2016:  Went out slow (smart).  6:40-6:50 and staying controlled was the plan.  With humidity , but, moderate temperatures (60 degrees up to about 75 degrees), I found myself in trouble around mile 18 at the planned pace.  I slipped in to the 7 and 7:30 range by th last 5k.  Crossed the line with a little surge and finished in a totally decent 3:02:36, for 13th.  

Afterward, I got some gatorade and salty food quickly and kept the clock rolling in to some very easy/slow miles as add on.  Some walking and a bit of jogging got me to 50k in 3:59.  Finished the rest in the same manner.  Ultra Training is hard!
