| 36F, 7:38 AP. Felt good, I gave myself a speed limit again at 7:30 pace. Good sign that I kept having to slow down, I think. Taper might be starting to work a little. | |

30 min on the TM (had to stay by my phone and email) in the evening was all I could fit in. Probably all I needed too, so it worked out.
Weather is looking scary good for Houston right now. Low 40s, cloudy, 6 mph wind. In both my other 2 marathons it was pouring rain the whole time and either hot or windy; I might be in uncharted territory here. | |

| 40F, WNW 11 mph. 7:52 AP. Felt pretty hard actually. Weird, probably just a sleep defecit. No more long, late nights at work though, I've babysat my last overseas mission and now someone else gets the late night stress! "Dress rehearsal" run is tomorrow (8 w/ 2). | |

39F...yet there was definite frost hardened on windshields and roofs. After this marathon I will be publishing my research paper revealing the new freezing temperature of water.
7:25 AP. Today was the dress rehearsal run, but my marathon clothes were dirty so I guess that didn't work out. I did wear the shoes though. 4 easy, then 2 sub-MP miles in the high 6:40s, followed by 2 easy. Felt really good and light on my feet. Hopefully I feel like this on Sunday, and not like I did yesterday.
Weather is looking ridiculously good for the race. Maybe a slight (5-6 mph) headwind on the last 5 miles going back downtown but that is hardly enough to even notice. | |

Went downtown to meet Flatlander for some inspiration at the olympic trials. We got to watch a couple loops and it was pretty cool. I yelled for Paul a couple times and got a confused stare, like "who are you...?" Then I had to bail to get in my own little shakeout run. I ran from my parents' house to Allen Parkway and the timing worked out to where I got to stop and see the women leaders come flying by around mile 23. There was a definite top 3 - Davila, Flanagan and Goucher, I think, with no one really that close. Then I jogged home after 5th place came by.
Weather for tomorrow - looking good. 46F to start, 56F at the finish, but cloudy. Shouldn't be too hot.
Goals for tomorrow:
A+ stretch goal: sub-3. Not planning on going out fast enough to make this happen, but you never know.
A goal: 3:05 and a BQ
B goal: there is no B goal. Sink or swim!
Bib # is 1772. I think there's a way to track here if anyone is interested. | |
