In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Got going before 5am. Best weather you can expect in Alabama in the summer. Stayed cloudy and below 75F the entire time.

Tried out a different run/walk strategy. Instead of Run 1 mile/Walk 45 sec , I did Run 3 miles/Walk 2:15. After one trial, I think the more frequent breaks are better. Felt pretty good though. Jon had left me cold gatorade and water which I got to at mile 16. By mile 17, I was feeling great. I think I was a little underfueled (had been doing 1 Gu/30 min) and the cold water hit the spot.

We on one of my favorite loops. Central Parkway to Bird Spring/Mud Tavern, to South Chapel Hill, then return on Chapel hill. Saw one of Joe Wallace's new developments (on south chapel hill) " Manor park" I think. He had 3 houses partially built. Didn't look like any sold yet. Nice location though.
