Pinellas County - Long Run: 17.80 miles, 00:08:57 average pace, 02:39:13 duration
practiced a marathon pacing strategy (simulated) of 5km/10mi/10mi/5km. went pretty well even though i was going faster than the paces at each step. but overall i felt good. also scouted out one of the two overpasses i will have to climb during the race. definitely nothing compared to the regular ones. freezing! started at 33F and ended at 45F. pretty lonely out there because the cold kept everyone inside.

Pinellas County - Long Run: 16.03 miles, 00:08:58 average pace, 02:23:34 duration
my ankle, achilles, and calves were fine walking but really tight the first 3 miles of the run (maybe the rope course?). kept it light for the first half then attempted MP or quicker. it was a little hard at times but comfortably discomfortable? all-in-all it was a good run.

Pinellas County - Long Run: 13.12 miles, 00:09:14 average pace, 02:01:03 duration
it was pouring with heavy winds when i woke up so i waited a bit for it to calm down before heading out. it was great until the rain stopped and the humidity came in which coincided with the ascent. overall it was a good session. beth’s handheld water sucks.

whew, rough plan was 3 miles warm-up, then 1 mile on/off at 8:30 pace, then cool down the rest of the way. little bit fast for some intervals, and boy did that bridge wipe me out (the third interval?). during the cool down had to stop to find tissues and also going up the final bridge. not trying to kill myself being i still have parental duties with it being christmas eve and all. overall it was a great outing if i must say so.

still host and humid (no surprise) but more cloud cover today. no kids but beth came and was able to cheer me on in a couple of places which was fun. the last bit she yelled “five to go!” which kind of got in my head a bit, albeit i think the heat started to get to me as well. had to take a couple of brief walks just to recollect and focus again. pretty good training run. keeping it in the green for the most part and around marathon pace. can’t wait to see how cooler weather and more training will pay off!
