To Quote Polonius

"Since brevity is the soul of wit, I'll be brief."

Actually, I just don't have a lot of time to spend on today's entry.

Run today:
Total distance: 3 miles
Total time: 37:27
Average pace: 12:28
Temperature: Too humid for my taste
Pain: None until I stopped, and then my left calf tightened up
Days left until the marathon: 5 (yikes!)

I was bored during a professional development lecture, so I played with my Garmin. To run a 6-hour marathon, I have to average 13:43 minute miles. I'm going to aim for that. Actually, I'm going to sign up with the 5:45 hour pace group, because I know I can stick with them for at least the first half of the race (I can probably stick with them until mile 16). Then I'll slow down.

I checked the weather for this weekend in Nashville. As of today, 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms. Low 58, high 72. Nice temperature, crap about the rain.

Cheers!
