my training, thoughts and running goals

03/26/2007 - Run

Another day another run. It was nice out today, sunny and warm with a little breeze. Could not be much better. You can tell by my time I am feeling better also, just over 4 miles and at a 7:38 pace. Now I just need to slow down, I need to “learn” what a 12 minute mile feels like.

12 minute miles for 50 miles would be 10 hours. That with some rest and eat/drink time should hopefully put me at a 11 hour finish. The course closes at the 12 hour mark, hopefully it will not come to that, but only the day will tell. Once I get started that day I will know better by how I feel and how many calories and how much fluid I am able to handle. Less than 2 weeks now!
