The marathon pace mileage is a guess. I got interrupted so often during the treadmill run that I'm not sure. Not even certain of total mileage because the mill somehow reset itself without stopping at somewhere around 3.3 miles. So I did another hour, with much beeping and associated expletives, after that reset.Legs felt good after two days off but the rest of me was very sleepy. Still am.

After work went down for the marathon start and wound up getting interviewed on Channel 5. I'll check the website later to see if its up there. Got to see a lot of friends this morning. I almost wished I were running. Almost.

Morning run of uncertain pace and speed since the Garmin died after mile 3 (hadn't been charged in a week). I know it was sub-10, but not how much sub-10. I was trying to push it a little. Clock time (about 2:04) not real helpful because of several waits to cross Rogers, Zero, Phoenix, etc. But it felt like a decent effort.

Shower and sleep now, then up for Fayetteville for women's hoops and first date with Dianne. She's been funny about it, acting like a goofy teen instead of a 49-year-old grandma. But I guess in some ways she's that 13-year-old kid who had a crush on me way back when. Fortunately I'm a little more self assured than the 17-year-old oblivious subject of that crush.
