Total Distance
12.00

AM: 7 miles

PM: 5 easy + foam rolling. Now I'm sore from yesterday.

looks like hopes for top three at Glass City may be premature....two older Kenyans with seed times of 2:21 and two 2:22 are on the entrants list as well as a dude gunning for sub 2:20. Not to mention another 2:24 guy and my own teammate who is  a 2:26 guy. It's gonna be a race people...95% chance of rain in the forcast that day as well.

Remember two things...

Seed times don't always reflect current fitness. Your seed time is 2:50 :-)

Kenyans tend to run for the win ($), which means there is always a high chance one or two guys will get in over their heads and blow up. If you aren't going backwards in the last 5-6 miles, you might catch some guys who are way ahead of you.

Jake,

Thanks. That's a good point. I figure the marathon is so unpredictable that anything can happen. My teammate says the marathon is where hard work and grit can get you further than talent. It will be interesting to see how it plays out

Just think how much sweeter that top 3 finish will be once you beat some legit dudes. That'll be awesome
