AP for 5 miles= 8:26.  The prerace run where I question my fitness and abilities even when  my legs feel light but 9:29 first mile seriously concerns me?  But that was the purpose of this run.  No work except for 6 x 0.1 mile strides--- pace for those were averaged at 6 mm, a couple under.  I thought I was a lot slower so that was nice.  It also woke me up....a little adrenaline to my veins.  My daughter in the car to school said  "have you ever ran it under 3 hours?"  when I told her to say a little prayer for me before the race.  I told her no.  It is hard to do.  She responded "what will happen to you if you don't do it under three hours?"  (she said it like she thought I would be punished).   I told her "nothing will happen to me, even if I get a 3:01 mom will be just fine, or a 3:04 etc.....".  She was worried about me.   Love my girls.  They are driving down SATURDAY morning at 530am.  It is a good thing April reminded me that the race starts at 6:45am.  I thought it started at 7am.  Would not be good if Troy rolled into town thinking he had the extra 15 minutes.  So....since I am leaving today and have no internet access...final words   " I will do what I have been trained to do and then a little more" .  Good luck my friends.  See you soon!!!
