59F, S 10 mph.  7:16 AP.  I went out having decided I would just do this run by feel.  Anything from 5 easy to 8 w/3 @ MP.  The warmup miles felt pretty good, but not quite as good as they did pre-puke-day so I decided on something in the middle -- 6 w/2 MP.  The MP miles felt nice, I just concentrated on relaxing through them - 6:36 (way downhill), 6:46 (slightly uphill).

Seeing a lot of variation in weaher preditions for the race.  48F for a low from weather.com, all the way up to 63F from accuweather and 59F from weather.gov.  The latter usually spots the new trend first (uh oh) but even 59 would be ok if it meant temps would stay in the 60s.  I might still be able to survive sub-3 pace.  The 3 local stations range from 52 and 58.  We'll see how it plays out!

trying to figure out what "washout" means...

Hi Joe,

Got your PM, I'll call you.

I think I'm going to run something like what you did (but not as fast) on this run for my run tomorrow and then call it quits for the rest of the week.

I've only been looking at weather.com so I'm thinking 48 degrees, 30 mph wind, lighting and driving rain and hail...maybe I'm just a little paranoid!!! Sound a little familiar?

Good rehearsal Joe, washout is what happens when it's 89, you're safe ;) I bet that changes a lot over the next 2 days

good paces to be relaxed at. I think you will run a 2:58
