Race Day is Looming.

As I write this the countdown to the gun is at 3 days, 12 hours and 48 minutes.  It's finally starting to hit me, 13.1 miles.  In one outing.  At the same time.  What was I thinking?  Too late to back out now, In 3 days and 10 hours I *hope* (can't jynx it) to be a Half-Marathon finisher!  So, today I went on my next to last run before the race.  I set out looking for a calm and relaxed four miler.  The miles ticked off, one by one.  I was feeling very good the whole way, my pace slipped just about a minute from mile one to mile four.  Mile three was even a bit quicker then mile two.  If this is any indication of how things are going to go Sunday, I will be so excited!  As usual, I will finish my post with my mile splits from the run.

Mile Splits
Mile 1 - 8:11
Mile 2 - 9:05
Mile 3 - 9:00
Mile 4 - 9:37
4-4.08 - :45 (9:24min/mi pace)
