Last long sort of run in the bag. 8 miles on saturday morning, nice run. I got up early this morning, and decided to keep it flat, so I just ran out the back way, hit the country roads and ran one of my old routes. I used to run out in the country all the time, but have got away from that route for some reason. The area I used to run was used to be nothing but cotton and tobacco fields, now it is a bunch of subdivisions. Last time I ran there it was about three years ago, and they were just starting to build a few houses, now it is a full blown neighborhood. Pretty nice houses, too.
The run was pretty fast, I was trying to keep the pace slow, but just could not do it. I ended up turning a 7:15 pace for the 8 miles, which felt pretty good. I am more than ready for the race.
The only running I will do next week will be a short run on Monday, the 2-mile portion of the Army Physical Training test, and the marathon. Should be a good rest week, which will of course drive me crazy - - I am used to running 30 or so miles a week and when I just stop running, I have way too much energy. I guess I can deal with that though.
