Got horrendously sick (allergies, general spring malaise) at the end of last week and missed an 8 mile run on 4-28. Also found out the medicine I was taking was making things worse. Still taking new medicine through Friday. Feeling pretty good, although, per the usual taper, everything is feeling like it's coming apart and like I've never run more than 10 miles in my life. I love it when a plan comes together.
4-25 - 4.1 miles. 36:39. 8:54 pace.
4-26 - 3.7 miles. 30:30. 8:19 pace.
4-30 - 3.2 miles. 29:05. 9:05 pace.
5-1 - 3.2 miles. 30:01. 9:22 pace.
5-3 - 3.2 miles. 29:10. 9:06 pace.
Forecast now has it in the upper 80's (vs. previous 90's prediction) and partly cloudy. With a 7am start I'm hoping to finish before the most extreme temps of the day. I haven't really thought about running 40 miles (41.2 actually) with any depth yet, when I have in passing I have quickly moved on as it seemed a bit overwhelming. So, here's to the unexpected.
