I have the day off work so we were able to sleep in a bit and get the run-in-the-sun in after the kids were off to school.  Last longish type run before SGM. Kim was running strong and averaged right around MP most of the run. Last mile was even quicker 8:20 with last half of that mile dipping into my MP. Coach Tom officially declares Kim READY-TO-GO for the marathon. Gonna be fun I'm really looking forward to it.

Afterward I did about 5-min barefoot run on grass.

9:05/143

Now gotta gear up for the Dirty Dash 10K tomorrow. Time to be a pig and wallow in some mud!!

Coach Tom, I'll of course give you all the credit if Kim does something amazing like qualifies for Boston.

Terry I don't know about the BQ this time, but I think we'll both be real happy if Kim can just get through the race without the ITB and knee troubles shutting her down early.

Actually a 45-49 AD BQ (4 hours) is highly probable, but the 40-44 BQ (3:50) would be tougher.

Why not start the green jello run next year?
