Pace Band
Ever since my 20-miler run, I've been thinking about pace. Originally, I thought I might shoot for a 4:30, but now I think that's a bit too ambitious. I might be able to do it, but I'm not confident enough in that to risk going out that fast and then crashing halfway through.Instead, I have decided that if all the planets align and everything goes well and my stomach doesn't rebel, I can hit a 4:45. So that's what we'll sort of try for. I spent the week creating pace bands online and looking at them, asking myself if I could really do it. I think I can.
Today, I made my last pace band and saved the file to my computer. Later today, I'll print it out, cover it in clear tape, and put it in my pile o' stuff to take to Detroit.
Tomorrow, I pack. Friday, I drive to Michigan. Saturday, I relax and hit the expo (unless I have time to go Friday night).
Then, Sunday? Sunday I run.
