Weather - 31 degrees and sunny. Perfect weather in my opinion.
Clothing - Black running compression shorts, short sleeve tech shirt (purple shirt), red windbreaker, running gloves, earwarmer headband and Camelbak.
Nutrition - Ate a banana before the run. During the run: 1 gu at the 3.5 mile mark and approx. 25 oz powerade/water mix.
Route - Started at the intersection of Oak Green and Burke Centre Parkway, went down Ox to Main Street and turned around.
Distance Completed: 7 miles
Time: Started at 7:45am, took 1 hour, 29 minutes
LAST WEEKEND TRAINING RUN EVER! Yay! Mentally, this is where I am at: I am so over the running part. I know I'll be able to finish the marathon in the allotted time given and all I want at this point is for it to be over. I am no longer concerned about the speed or pace. Just getting through it.
Anything I'd do different? No, I liked have the windbreaker and being able to take it off after the first mile when I got warmed up. The gloves I took off too at the first mile and then put them back on around mile 4 for the remainder of the run. Wearing the shorts and having the short sleeve shirt was the way to go.
Mid-week runs - I ran 5 miles on Tuesday and walked 1.5 miles on Thursday at the gym. I didn't have enough time to do the whole 4 miles and the next thing you know, I lost any motivation to run any of it at all. Oh my! My 5 mile run on Tuesday was one of the best running times ever for me.
