Summary:
I looked at my phone last night, trying to decide when to do the long run, and the forecast was above 80% rain, 50 degrees, and 15-20mph winds all day. Seemed like that all could do more damage than good, and that since with less than 2 weeks left I am going to start spacing out the workouts more, I could postpone the long run by a day. Of course, it wound up not raining all morning, and being fairly nice out (though still windy). Happy to take an easy day, though. Left toe hurting slightly. Push-ups and sit-ups afterwards.

Summary:
Sunny out, but cold (and windy). First time I havee done a 15+ long run not in shorts and a t-shirt. Probably the last long run this long, too. Intentionally did not wear a watch so I would go easy. Felt good. Toe did not hurt today. Felt fairly full from lunch, and in the last couple miles started to cramp up slightly, but it never became a problem.

Summary:
10 min up, 35 min tempo, 7 min down. Frigid out, at least for Mississippi - right at freezing and 20mph winds. Those were really bad out at Bear Pen, where there was no neighborhood between me and the north wind. Dont think I went so fast today, but the point is just to stay sharp.

Summary:
Surprised by how good this felt, in part because of a feeling of malaise all day. But it was beautiful out, 65 degrees, and I felt fresh. Left calf has been pretty tight lately, so Im going to need to focus on stretching it out. Push-ups+sit-ups: last time for a little bit, as Im going to take a break from core work until the race.

1.5 up, 3 mile tempo, 1.5 down. 6:30, 6:21, 6:14 for the miles. Thought the last one would be faster but it was pretty much into the wind the whole way. Then again, it is looking like that is what the race will be like on Saturday, too.

Tried to take Boone out, but after about a half mile he would only lie down or go home. So made up a little loop afterwards, aiming to get towards 5 miles. Nice day out.

Summary:
The big day. Woke at 5:15, ate a bagel with peanut butter and a banana, made some tea and water and drove down to Greenville. Cold but not ridiculous waiting out at the Cowpen. When they called it to the start line I noticed an East African. Maybe back in my peak days I couldve hung but that smelled like trouble for my hopes for a win. He went out pretty quick, and one guy went with him, and I let them go and tried to just start with an easy mile. A little over 6:30 for the first one, and I was running with another guy, but after 2 miles, when I started to tick it up, I was alone pretty much the rest of the way, which was no fun. Dropped a little over 12:00 for the next 2 miles, in part because I wanted to see if I might close the gap with the front 2 (didnt realize just how fast they were). I wish Id restrained myself, because once I was out in no-mans-land it was hard to hold my pace. Looking back at the splits, thats where it went wrong: once I started slowing down I wasnt going to come back. Even slowing down, I figured Id be okay for third, but as always happens to me, in the last 3/4 of a mile a guy flew past -- he ran a smart race, working his way towards first the guy I started with, and then me. Legs were dead -- didnt realize until looking at my splits just how bad the last stretch once. He made up 35 seconds on me in less than a mile. Ugh. Official time was 1:25:01.7, but a strange decision was made to start us at the 13-mile mark of the marathon, so our times were really for 13.2 miles. Half time would have been roughly 1:24:23. Thats a good six and half minutes faster than last year, but Im still disappointed with how I raced. Lesson learned: Im better off running my own race (and I do better when I work the pace up more gradually) than trying to go for a win in a situation like this. Splits, roughly: 6:29 (short); 6:24; 12:01 (2 miles - short); 6:16; 6:21; 6:22; 12:55 (2 miles - I dropped a glove at one point and had to stop to pick it up); 6:41; 6:38; 6:44; 8:41 (1.2 miles - like 7:15 pace).
