"Tending the Rabbits"

Today was my last long run before next week's marathon. The Plan called for 8 miles and I had my own plan for running it. My Plan was to wear the 4:30 pace band I picked up from last week's Pig. I wore the 4:40 band in the race last week. I think I can do 4:30. I wanted to practice and see what it felt like for 8 miles.

What is it they say about "the best laid plans of mice and men?". . .

Even though I plugged El Garmino into the outlet last night, it must have been off its rocker because this morning the battery was dead. Darn! I got one mile out of it. Also, I had to guess at the mileage. I ran a route that I think would have actually been 9, but I was running with a friend and we ended up walking the last .5. Let's just call it 8.5 and I have no idea as to time.

Oh, well.

Tapering. . . tapering. . . tapering. . .

WTD: 25.26
YTD: 540.8
