Run for 6 - treadmill

To make up for my lack of discipline early in the week, I went to the gym later than normal to get a run under my belt before the end of the week.

Sunday Morning Long Run

We beat the rain!  We only had sprinkles for the last 1.5 miles.  Big confidence booster for the marathon.  It has been many years since I have run a marathon - going at the faster pace is scary.  I know I can put one foot in front of the other for 8 or more hours, but that’s different than aiming for a decent marathon pace.  You wouldn’t think that 30 seconds per mile made a big difference - it makes a HUGE difference.  It will hard to guess my marathon time.

I still am not sure what my race goal is for Surf City, as I was already doing the marathon shuffle as we topped the last hill at 19.5 miles. I am blessed with a patient and fit friend that let me tag along with her today - thanks Andrea.

Another evening on a hotel treadmill

This was a pretty goo overall effort.  Didn’t get checked in until almost 7:00pm after a drag of a day that begun with an 8:00 case, then a two andhour drive for a 3:00 case, then a two and half hour drive to a Fairfield Inn.  Lunch was a Operating Room Potluck - which was really good as it turns out.  Jumped on the treadmill warmed up did my half mile repeats and was done in less than 40 minutes!
