Well the local marathon and half is Sunday and they really needed pacers so I volunteered I ended up taking the first half of the 3:30 Group (1:45 half). I was considering the 3:10 group but it's suppose to be über hot and I don't do that well in the heat so I didn't want to push it and risk messing up. It's my first time pacing so I hope I can hit 8 min miles on the nose for the runners. Should be fun, a free supported long run with a post race party and two free shirts!

 

So tonight I went out and did a practice 7 mile run holding the pace.  Managed to average +/- 5 seconds of 8:00 mile pace over the length of the run. I think I should be ok
