Title: Wednesday, May 6th
Post by: caito on May 06, 2015, 09:10:05 AM: Gym stuff and 5 miles.

Finally back in the gym after a couple weeks off due to a strained muscle in my chest. All my gym buddies were were wondering where I've been and were getting worried! Awww!

Yes, thanks. About 2.5 weeks to go. I have a 10-mile race on Sunday, and the Marathon is two weeks after that.

My goal for the marathon is to break 2:46, which 6:20 pace just does. Unless I have an unexpectedly awesome performance at the 10-miler, that goal will not change.

Those are insane 3 x 3 mile times, I now feel like a tortoise.

Thank you, and thank you, and remember that it's all relative. I'm sure there are some elites who might do 3x3 miles in which each one is under 13:00.
