Time to wind down?

After my struggling run on Tuesday, I ran 6 miles last nite, and it was much better. It was about as easy as running 6 miles can be and that was at a ~9:20/mile pace. I'm still debating whether to wear my "toe" shoes for the marathon. I've done a couple of 6-milers in them now and have run in them exclusively for the past three or four weeks (I think), but still worry a bit about going more than twice that distance. I'll probably end up waiting until the morning of the event to decide for sure...

I went to Sue's house at lunch today and visited with her. We looked at the 10-day forcast for SLC on her computer and saw that right now they have rain predicted for the race-day. Of course 10-day forcasts are not very accurate other than in a very general sense, so it's way too early to worry about that right now. And rain wouldn't be the worst thing as long as it's not cold too.

I never did get in a really long run (something around 10 miles) as I was hoping to do, and now I think it's getting too close to the event to do so. Still, I'm feeling pretty good about my ability to make it all 13.1 miles. I'm not going to run this evening or tomorrow, but plan on doing something Sunday, probably around 4 or 5 miles. Then probably just an easy 3-miler on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. It seems like someone mentioned it previously, but if not, I think it would be fun for us all to do a short run (like just a couple of miles) together in SLC maybe on that Thursday evening.

Another slow day at work (the printing business is not good right now), so I'm just killing time here. Really looking forward to seeing everyone next week!
