...before the race in a couple of weeks. I ran 15 miles this morning starting at 6 o'clock. And if the weather is like this on race day, I will be a happy man. The past few days have had a feeling of autumn about them, but I have a feeling that's about to end. Nevertheless, this morning's temperature was probably around 60 degrees and didn't get much higher than that, even when the sun came up. A few other people were out walking and running, but not as many as I thought there would be. Even saw a couple of women jogging together in long-sleeve shirts and long pants. Personally I didn't think it was that cold.
This wasn't one of my strongest runs, but I'm feeling pretty good as the race draws near. I keep running lots of hills, especially on a long run like today. It'd be nice if I was overprepared for the hills in the race, but I doubt that'll be the case. Today's pace was right at 10 minutes/mile, which was just right. The past two weeks on my long runs I have purposefully kept from looking at my pace until the last mile and ran by how I felt instead of by the numbers. I think it worked out better that way.
