It felt great to run this morning. I ran into several runners this morning from the neighborhood and all we could talk about is Saturday. I AM PUMPED!!!!

Went for an easy 5 first 3/4 was @ 8:30 pace/ faster than I usually get going by a minute. I took off for 3/4 mile @ 6:30 pace, felt great. I only wish I could hold that pace for a longer timeframe. Slowed down and carried an 8:45 pace to the DC. I returned back home with a 8:40 pace for a mile then did 1/3 mile @ 6:10 then went the rest of the way @ 7:30.

The body is ready..........is the mind?????

Your body and mind are ready Scott. Even though this is only your first marathon you've trained smart and are a lot more prepared than some people will be come Saturday.

Have fun on Saturday. My first marathon was a life changing event and something I'll never forget. I had to come home and write thee pages of "memories" because I felt all spiritual and moved by the race.

Your going to do great so enjoy this one.

In a way I am really jealous. Your first will bring more memories then all the others. You seem throughly prepared. Best of luck to you maybe I will see you down there.
