3.1 miles @ 8:31/mi.
I slept in a bit, did some church work, then just looped around the neighborhood and medium+ effort for a few miles to loosen up the legs for tomorrow's 4 mile "Earn Your Turkey" race. The race is at 8:00am. I ran today at 7:30am (instead of normal 5;30am) to get the feel for the temperature and how to dress tomorrow. It looks like the weather should be pretty good, about like this morning...sunny, low 30's.
Other than our annual neighborhood 5K and some relay legs, it's been several years since I've run an organized race shorter than a half marathon. It's also been that long at least since I've been in as good of running shape as I am. I've been adding some speed since the St. George marathon back in October. I'm pretty excited to see what I can do tomorrow. I'm hoping to break 8:00 pace, and maybe be closer to 7:30. I can't predict race day magic.
