4:30 am. 1 week to go, I'm going to take a good long break after this race I think. This morning really makes me wonder what is going to happen next week, I start out my run thinking I wont even be able to finish 26 miles let alone PR. Then after about 5 miles everything seems to loosen up and I can run just fine. Also it seems the faster I go the less it hurts, so I guess as long as it holds up for 1 hour longer than today I'll survive. 13 miles out to the Golden Gate view point, really nice morning for a run, probably high 30's clear skys with really bright stars, there was a low fog under the Golden Gate bridge so they had the fog horns going. It's really a neat experience early in the morning. My Garmin died 3 miles into the run, probably not a bad thing, I need more runs without it. All I know is it is 6.5 miles out to that point for a 13 mile total run. Don't even really know how long it took. I'd guess 7:15ish average.
