Today's run had me outside on the bike path. I ran 8 miles; out and back. The temperatures were great, low 70's, but the wind was a bitch. Going out it was great, but coming back I was heading right into it. Oh-well, just having the sunshine was well worth it. I left the watch at home and don't even want to estimate how fast I was going.
Tomorrow is my 20 mile run. I'm going to attempt to run the first 10 at a 7:00 pace and the second half at 6:30. We'll see how that goes. The weekly miles will be in the upper 70's so the legs are pretty tired right now.

You are ready my man. Because you have excellent leg speed, again...be sure to do a few short runs at 6:20 pace the weeks leading up to the race just to know where you need to be. Let me tell you from experience, it is too easy on race day to get under 6:00 pace for a mile or two. Then it is hard to pull back. Don't worry about other people jetting out, you will pass them soon enough. Let the field destroy themselves.
