Game Farm Park. 10 a.m. ish. No work today. Went for a nice run. Perfect weather for a run, cloudy, cool, but not cold. I hope that it is like this on Oct. 10! I felt good today and I kept the pace very well but I was constantly checking my GPS to make sure I was on target. I wanted to start out slower and then gradually get faster in my run. I felt like I accomplished that pretty well today and with no pains again. I did the full loop that goes back along the river. I did 4 laps and then a very small lap to finish. Only a little over a week until the marathon! And exactly 1 week from today I will be running my last run before the BIG race!
