Took my new Mizunos out for a spin to make sure they won't give me blisters or any surprises on race day tomorrow. No problems, but I'm still nervous that something might crop up over 20 miles. I've ran in this style of shoe before, but wore some Asics in the interim. SO- we'll just have to see...
20 mile Trail Run tomorrow. I'm not "racing" this. I signed up so I would commit myself to at least 1 decent 20 miler during marathon training. Up 'til now the longest I've gone this season is 18. I felt really good on that 18 miler, but then crashed at mile 14 the week after on my long run. So tomorrow is a mystery. I'm trying to go into it mentally strong and want to use this as a gauging run to see where I'm at, and at what pace my body feels comfortably challenged. A 2:50 would be nice tomorrow, then a BQ will seem more attainable this year at SGM, but I'm expecting more of a 2:55-3:00 tomorrow.
I plan on eating really clean today and getting in bed early tonight!
