Boise, ID 6:00 am Pace: 8:55 This was my third and final long run before Pocatello. I did more long runs before Ogden, but I think my runs have been a little more intense lately. We'll see how it plays out a week from Saturday. I think the benefit of these long runs is as much psychological as it is physiological. It helps remind me that I won't drop dead at mile 18 when race day comes. I fly to NC tomorrow and I'll get a couple more runs in this week, then I'll do my normal 6.5 mile morning runs on Monday and Wednesday next week. |
