Short run, 3 miles, 33:15; splits 11:04, 11:29, 10:31<\/p>\n
“Rain, heavy at times,” as the weather radio says. It felt quite pleasant, actually. But a nice old guy in a truck pulled up next to me and asked, “Are you OK?”<\/p>\n
“Yes, I’m fine!” I replied, and mentally added: “I ‘m a marathoner!” (as NRMT recommends you should repeat to yourself). Which reminds me that during this past Sunday’s run, my dad (a worrier at times) thought I might call for help–because it was raining–on the cell phone he lent me. I have come a long way. It even occurred to me that if it does<\/b> absolutely pour on marathon day, I can bring extra socks–maybe 2 pairs–and change along the way. I will finish, no matter what!<\/b><\/p>\n
An unexceptional easy run. My last 3-miler–next week the “short” run goes to 4 miles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
