2mi x2 intervals @ the PHS track.  Lots of teenagers doing their summer school activities on and around the track, awkward... Last run before my first full marathon, the UVM! Wish me luck, i will need it!!! :-) 

I feel like I trained for this marathon like I prepared for tests in High School, prepping just enough to squeak by...  

approx mile times:

miles 1/2 - 8:00/8:30

miles 3/4 - 8:30/8:00

Brooks Launch Miles: 4.50

thanks allie! you're taking it easy and hanging out at the finish line right? don't make me dive tackle you on the course to prevent you from worsening your stress fracture. ;-)

Good luck on your first marathon! It's fun to be a newbie at the marathon, but it only happens once. Enjoy!
