This time we ran with Jason's sister who has a slightly faster pace than us. I think it was a pretty good run. I'm still not satisfied with the mileage, but I'm starting to think we'll be okay on race day. My legs feel strong and I'm hardly tired after 8 miles. I'm sure it'll hurt on the first 13 miles, but I won't think of it as a race anyway. I think however that I'll invest in some mid-run fuel - maybe I'll tuck a packet of energy blocks in my pocket. For water I'll stick to the stations and try to get hydrated at least a half hour before the race.

The run itself today - letsee... pace felt faster overall. I did not fall into the easy, play-it-safe, snails pace that I usually take. My left knee started hurting at about mile 6, but it wasn't bothering and it disappeared after awhile.
