No run today; spent the morning with the family, the afternoon in the Boston airport, and the evening on a surprise nonstop flight. The original flight was delayed at least 90 minutes, maybe more, and I couldn't be sure to make my connection in Newark. So they found me a seat on another airline, nonstop, leaving three hours after the original flight but arriving an hour before the first itinerary got me here.
Spent much of the flight thinking about the race. Is 7:50 pace too slow? Is 7:45 too fast? Don't know. So I'll play it by ear, see how I feel on the course, and adjust accordingly. I still think I probably went out a few seconds too slow in Memphis, and it may have cost me the BQ. Maybe I'll be running 7:50s all day, maybe I'll be running 7:40s. We'll see.
Tomorrow, drive to Newport, hopefully drive the course, get my packet, and hit the spaghetti dinner before an early bedtime. Speaking of which, it's bedtime now. |
