S7H.

20K Decker Challenge.

T=34 degrees. Very cold and windy.

WU&CD=2.6 miles

Ran 12.4 miles @ 8:10" pace.

My plan was not to race but do it as a training run at 8:00"-8:30" pace. Hopefully I will be recover in time for next weekend 18 miles MGP run.

Ran with Karen Hatley & her friend at relax conversational pace on the first 10K at 8:37" pace.

Ran next 10K alone at 7:43" at medium to medium-hard effort. Ran up the hills slowly as recovery --> Picked up the pace immediately after the hills.

Total 20K AVG=8:10" pace.

Very good training run.

Great work Tam. You really took off the last 10K. I didn't see you listed in the results. Are you still in the challenge?

Actually I think I see you listed in the results as an

Great race. When I was driving into work this morning I thought about how it would have been good for you to run with Karen Hatley, and now I can see you did for half the race. If you keep this up I'm thinking you may be ready in February to give the 3:30 a real good shot. You are not there yet, but you are on your way. See you tonight at McNeil. Paul

Thanks Ethan, Paul.

Yes I am listed under "Unknown Chip: DK5TGXZ"; probably because I registered on race day.

Paul, knowing me for 8 years, this is the first time that you said I have a shot at 3:30 Marathon. That really means a lot to me. THANK YOU.

Now that I believe I could run 5K at 6:55" pace, my next target will be training to run 10K at 7:12" pace before Marathon day.

Today my body seems recovering well from Sunday run.
