Today was a rewarding run. It was an experiment to see whether I could achieve race pace and still control how I felt, and for the most part was able to achieve this. Target pace was 8:30. I was able to achieve this partly because I tightly controlled the start. I’m not so sure I’d be able to hold this pace for 21 miles, let alone 26. Today was a day to try to build some of the pacing to make sure that I felt like I was going the right pace. The other thing that kept me going was hearing (in the back of my mind) Kristin Hersh screaming at full tilt. Good god do I love 50 Foot Wave for clearing my mind.
