6 miles in 39:40 6:36 avg pace. Last Mile in 5:40 just to see what it felt like. I really don't know what to think about Just Cuz 1/2 tomorrow, 6 hour round trip drive for 1+ hours of pure torture. I would like to PR but with the weather I'm not sure it's going to be ideal, and frankly I don't have a lot of confidence in myself right now. I'd say I'm in at least as good of shape as I was last year, I have more experience running sub 6:00 pace for extended periods of time but I've just had so many quirky problems lately I don't know what to expect. Plus Jeff and Rob aren't going to be there to push me, I'm just going to have to let my watch do the pushing. I guess we'll see, I just hope it doesn't end up being a whole lot of driving for another disappointment. Oh, I bought some new Nike Free TR Winters, they have treads on them like snow tires and they are water resistant. I thought tomorrows race might be in the snow, but I also wanted them for running this winter. I wore them on the treadmill this morning for a test run and they seem fine, they don't really feel like real Free's so I'm not sure where they get off calling them Free's.
