Notes Best thing to do after not training for a while ... go run a race! I'm in the worst shape I've been in over the past 5 years. I figured I'd try to hold 7:00/mi. pace and see what happened. Got carried away over the first mile and paid for it the rest of the way. Finished 5 seconds faster than expected. Wondering if that was just a self-fulfilling prophecy; i.e., looked at my watch after a mile and "knew" I shouldn't be going that fast so subconsciously slowed to match my expectations.

Ate too much at the hotel before the race ... felt it over the course.

Three months until the marathon. I've got to get my act together!
