Well, this is good. Took off this afternoon, and did 4.75 miles. How do I know? Because I measured it on my brand shiny new Garmin Forerunner :-) A very fun toy that I’ll be doing a full writeup on in a day or two. I did a little stretching, but still ended up running it at an 11:30 average pace. With no real problems! Not only that, but I got to do a 7:30 pace for a while. Okay, it was slightly downhill, but I just kept ratcheting the pace up and it felt great.

I parked at Auditorium Shores off of South First. Headed out West towards MoPac, over the bridge, out East to Congress, over again, and back. Took me a while, but I’m confident that I can do the 21 miler on Saturday. I don’t know if I’ll have to slow it down at all during the long run, but I’m going to do it anyway.
