10 miles. Longest ever. The first 9 were OK. The last one was brutal. My watch said about 1:33, and that is about a 9:17 pace. A little slower than I would want, but the last mile is what did it. I keep having this fantasy that I can run my first marathon in 4 hours, which is a 9 minute 10 second pace. Of course in the last mile of training I revert back to, "finishing is good" mentality which is where I should be. I think realistically we're talking a little less than 4 hours with stops for water and hills. Temperature will be a factor as well.
I'm flying to San Diego Sunday early, catching the red-eye back Friday night. I may even be able to run with the group Saturday morning.
Thanks to those that have contributed to my effort thus far. It is most appreciated.
