I ran 4 easy miles today, up to Pleasant Valley Baptist Church and back, and deliberately kept the pace slow. My average pace was 9:49/mile, pretty close to what I wanted. I just wanted to stretch out a little and not go four days between my last run and the race.
I printed off some stuff from the half-marathon web site today, which makes me feel a little more prepared for Sunday. Talked to Alan and chances for his appearance here have all but vanished. Oh well, time to do some research for another race. The weather forecast for Sunday includes some rain, but no telling yet if that's in the morning or later on. I don't mind the rain as long as there's no lightning. I think since I have to head out early that the family will be skipping this one, and that's okay. I'll be leaving about 6 a.m. for an 8 o'clock race. I don't blame them one bit. I'm already looking forward to a Sunday afternoon nap followed by a celebratory steak dinner with a nice glass of wine. To top it off, I'm off work Monday, so I can sleep late. I just have to get through the 13.1 miles first!
