10 miles, AP 7:39 (which is pretty much the exact marathon pace I am shooting for). Granted, while I was running I took one fluid break (60 seconds), stopped for about 30 seconds when I ran into Rachel (because how could I not ... she's awesome) and then about 15 seconds picking up Smo for the last three miles. I had not planned on running marathon pace. Was just shooting for around 8s. Things just fell into place that way. It was a comfortable hard which is very reassuring. It actually would have been a slower overall pace had it not been for Smo. I told her to keep me at about a 7:45ish pace. It was raining outside and I guess the cooler temps put some ants in her pants with each progressive mile since our last three miles were: 7:40, 7:30 then 6:35!!! What a NUTJOB!!!!! Really hoping Smo will pace me the last handful of miles at the marathon. It'll all depend on her basketball schedule. They may have a tournament. I hope hope hope not. I NEED her!! Getting nervous. |
