See that is the problem with always racing--you get used to the crowd support. :-) Great miles & pace Ian. You are looking really strong right now.

good Monree Road and back 3.8 mi 01:00 15:47 pace

Acre Road and back 8 mi 01:10 08:43 pace
7.15am and what a dreary morning, leaden skies and drizzle...almost perfect running conditions. Last real chance to get the pacing right and this was spot-on. I have a 3:50 finish time in mind and ... read more

Glad to see this was on target Ian. And I think everyone struggles through the first few miles on most days. The body is always going to try and fight you. Race day will be so very different--adrenaline alone will take care of a lot of issues. Best advice I can give you is to have a plan that you feel like you can execute and line up with a lot of well-deserved confidence. The rest will pretty much take care of itself. :-)
