- track
-- warm up
-- 3 x 3 @sub-5k pace w/ 2 min jogging rest [3:49, 3:41, 3:38]
-- cool down
Rx was 6 x 3, cut in half because taper. picked up the intensity a bit, accordingly, and felt good. one of the faster guys in the group is running marine corps on sunday, he did the same. told me his goal is sub-2:55, 2:5x low if it all comes together. i would have a lot of work to do if i decide to seriously go after sub-3. he is significantly faster than i am.

last night

- run 35:18, 6.88 km
nice and easy, beautiful weather.

it rained hard earlier this week and the course is very well shaded (it's almost entirely on forest trails) so there's a chance of some mud tomorrow. hoping the stream you have to cross twice isn't that high. but weather-wise, should be perfect: 40s-50s fahrenheit, low humidity, not much sun. i haven't slept well the past couple of nights, hoping i can at least sleep for ~6 hours tonight. planning to eat a bunch of pasta tonight, go to bed, get up at 5 to eat (my normal smoothie plus i'll add a bowl of cereal for the extra calories), have coffee, and give myself time to wake up a bit before i hit the road at 5:45. packet pickup starts at 6:30 AM, race starts at 7:30. must not forget safety pins.

i'm excited, a little nervous. lfg.
