Easy 4 - Fri. November 28

Day before a race, not a brilliant plan, but I'm more interested in getting total miles up than in setting new PBs, and with a cracked rib I'll not be doing any wonders tomorrow anyway. Also the race tomorrow is at 1 p.m., so I had more than 24 hours after this morning's run in which to recover. Headed out about 10:30 a.m. (after a light breakfast) in full gear (jacket plus two layers, hat, longs, gloves) in damp but no rain/snow. Did a standard Hamilton *gently* and added the VFW loop at the end to be sure I'd reach 4 miles:

Time: 31:22
Distance: 4.11 miles
Pace/Speed: 7:38/7.86 mph

Comment: good to warm up and burn off some turkey and desserts(!), though my rib was pretty sore (from the Tuesday run?). Meanwhile, I'm working on a revised set of paces, both training and competition, so I can see what my general targets are as I prepare for the marathon in '09.
