Friday---Heheeyyy

Alright. I had an awesome 8 miler last night. I ran it with an avg pace of 8:53. I have never maintained under a 9 min mile for that long. Sweeettt. I might just have to do the Hermes 10 miler and see how I do. The last 10 mile race I ran was in 2006 and I ran it with an avg pace of 9:41. I felt good the whole run and managed to get 6 mile done before it started raining. It just sprinkled though, so it wasn’t so bad. But after my watch crossed from 7:99 to 8:00, I was d-o-n-e and in the house. Gary had dinner waiting, what a nice husband!

I was going to swim this morning, but decided I need to take just a total rest day. I am nervous about tomorrow. I hope I am remembering the hills as being bigger than they really were. Last year’s time was 3:19, so I should easily be able to beat that. But you just never know. My stomach has been wonky for well over a week now, it may decided to torment me tomorrow. I am heading to Fleet Feet on lunch to pick up some hammer gels. I have a case of accelerade gels at home, but I haven’t really tried them yet and they have protein in them, so I am not sure how my stomach will handle them. Best not to try them out on a race, even if it really is just a training run. Beth and I are meeting at 5:15 to make the trek to PA. I sure hope it doesn’t rain. I ran a whole half marathon in a downpour once though, so it won’t be the end of the world if it is. Of course that HM was in Aug, so it was certainly warmer out.
