Final Preparations
Making final preparations for the big race. I'm both regretting my decision to fly out friday night and thanking myself for it. On one hand I could pull an all nighter tonight and finish up everything for the school year and have made it on the 6 am flight tomorrow and had 48 hours to relax in Anchorage, but on the other I'd definately have had to stay up all night and not taken a break to run tonight.
Only finishing up grades, packing/cleaning my classroom, and cleaning my old apartment, and packing for the trip left on the major to do list. This should allow me to actually get 8 hours of sleep the next two nights.
Today on the track I'm learning to run 6:30 pace. I have no idea what the workout is, but it'll be about 4800meters and I'm forcing myself to do it entirely at 6:30 pace. I feel ready to run fast, no injuries to speak of and lots of incentive to run 2:50 or faster. The only question that remains is how 26x6:30 miles will effect me. Will I be too sore to run the next week? Will I even hold it together for 26.2 miles?
Inquiring minds will find out in a few days.
Miles this week: 0 miles, YTD: 969, $ raised for LLS: $3550 <- PLEASE DONATE (HELP FIND THE CURE FOR CANCER)

Sat: Mayors Marathon
Fri: Flight to Alaska (morning run?)

Good luck this weekend!! 6:30 pace sounds really fast...just make sure it feels really easy early on. I can't wait to hear all about it!
Good luck raising the last bit of money, too. Maybe you'll sit next to a rich person on the plane...
