I totally appreciate your advice....Thank you Raina! I totally appreciate your advice. I know what a calculated runner you are so I really take your thought to heart. I'm not a very good pacer so I'm praying for someone running my target pace that I can follow for the first half. Here goes nothing!

I think you are...I agree with Nikki and with Tasha! I think you are capable too. Play it smart, though. Go easy in the first half. It's so easy to get swept into thinking everyone else around you is going too slow. You might be in a corral with runners who are planning a much slower or faster race than you and might be tempted to whiz past them, but try to keep the tangents in mind when passing so you don't add huge distance to your 26.2. <br />After seeing your recent 8k race time, I fully think you are capable of a 3:16 race!!!!. Just don't get swept away early, and KEEP WARM at the start in Hopkington!! :) <br />tracking from Oregon!

Your training has been perfect, even if at times you might have thought otherwise. :-)I am a huge believer in the negative split. I always start out slow in every single race. <br /><br />Sleep tight sweet friend. Enjoy the moment tomorrow. I will be tracking you from Spokane!!!Tasha Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235287569641564538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609922816774700750.post-90056712848627719512013-04-14T17:26:18.122-07:002013-04-14T17:26:18.122-07:00Thanks Tanya!
