Yesterday I've done close to 10 miles in two runs. I felt a bit beaten up, but I had to frontload the week, and I have had a long streak, so I have a good explanation.

No running today, just lots of work. I'm getting a bit nervous. I have no idea what to expect tomorrow. My firefighter colleagues will see me running so, I can't totally blow it.

Here is the elevation profile from the website.


This is more elevation change than I thought... The first mile should be very close to/slightly over 6 minutes, then maybe I can afford a 6:20, mile 3 should be very fast, and mile 4 and 5 about 6:10 to have a chance at sub-38 minutes. The only time I can be behind schedule is at mile 2, and not by much. And remember, when reaching the top of the hill at 4.5, there is no more holding back.
