Race day. Very cool with scattered rain and a bit of a breeze. Temperature was around 53 degrees.
Felt pretty good until about mile 16 or so. Legs started to really drag. The lack of roadwork the previous few weeks surely contributed to that. Whatever. I was still keeping a decent pace and intermixing short walks for about 10 to 20 breaths. It could’ve been a much faster time had I been able to pound out the training road work.
Today’s run was the Lake Placid Marathon. Split pace was about 9:30, and overall pace was about 9:50. Total time was 4:17:43, which is a PR by about 8+ minutes.
