Just trying to dial in on a comfortable pace ... Maybe a little ambitious today. Unfortunately, I think regardless of what pace I run the first 16, the last 10 are going to be brutal. Anyway, felt good about this run .... At least I will be comfortable running the first half! Lol

Comfortable 10 in sunny 68 degree weather ... starting to feel like 7:30 should be my go to pace in 9 days & just deal with the discomfort the last 10 miles & hang on as best as I can. I also am a little concerned that I may take off faster out of the gate than 7:30 ... although I know this would be a BAD idea!

 Ok ... just decided:

Stretch Goal:  sub 3:15

A Goal:  sub 3:18

B Goal:  sub 3:25 (which gets me a BQ for next year)

tragic day, my race is not relevant in scheme of things.  I heard the explosions taking a shower at my hotel, 1block from finish line

---------------------------------

Take 2: 

Back in ATL, still processing the events of the last two days, with command central & Boylston right outside my corner room ... 24 floors below.  I will upload my Garmin splits later ... but the short story is exactly what I expected I would run ... comfortably @ a 3:15 pace for 17 or 18 miles & then control the fade.

Anyway, slowing down a minute per mile seemed like the appropriate thing to do.  The only goal I had that mattered was to requalify, which I did with 3 minutes to spare.  I enjoyed the last 9 miles just ran them a little slower. 

I will be back Boston ... and we are going to have a party.

 Take 3:

 Just reminiscing about being a runner!  lol
