Passed on a beautiful night for the sake of speed!

Tonight was absolutely beautiful. The thermometer at home said it was about 45 degrees and the sky was clear. By the time I got home it was starting to get dark but it would have been awesome because there is a full moon. I was really tempted to run outside but I’m trying to get into an 8:00/m pace and if I ran outside by myself I knew I would have trouble. So off to the gym I went.

The good news is I felt pretty good through-out the whole run. I was tired at the end but felt like I could have run further. I’m not sure I could have kept that pace up for 13.1 but I’m sure I could have done a few more miles.

I’m feeling good about the impending race. I should be able to finish in less than to hours provided nothing goes wrong. I will just be happy when it’s over!

On a side note I ordered a hat from the Indy Mini Marathon and it arrived today. Very Excited!
