My heck ...Whoa Nelly...someones a little dramatic! My heck you've trained like a maniac old man. The only thing that will hold you back from accomplishing your goal is your thoughts and your mind. Stay in control of those mental demons, look back at your training, and accept the fact that you are capable.<br /><br />I'm pacing a friend in PHX that is targeting 3:38. I plan to see you there!!

My mileage has been lower going into this one so my main thought is "am I ready/ have I done enough??" Plus I'm doing Little Rock Marathon which you know firsthand how chalkenging that course can be. (And apparently it's a little harder this year since they re-routed some sections of the course...) Not very sure how to pace it. Based on your training times I'd say you are definitely in sub 3:10-3:05 shape. If the weather and course are good I'd say go for it!Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865099182609959790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-52904575350968154202015-02-17T09:29:34.569-06:002015-02-17T09:29:34.569-06:00Sounds fairly normal Jim.
You might want to mak...Sounds fairly normal Jim. <br /><br />You might want to make a list of things you can control and things you can't. For instance, if you ran too much prepping for the race, then there's not much you can do about that now. But if you are worried about your lips chafing then find some chapstick. <br /><br />Also, consider you don't put this much mental energy into your 20 mile training runs and from the looks of it your long distance runs have been awesome. So don't overthink / worry yourself into a subpar performance. Just do what you've trained to do: run.<br /><br />BTW: I found Arizona to be a bit more humid than anticipated. If it has been raining, watch out for this. Also it can get mildly warm by mid morning. I don't mean to freak yourself out, but keep that in the back of your mind.<br /><br />EddieEddie Gaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18151446665700309292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-4683154210968702682015-02-16T22:12:03.770-06:002015-02-16T22:12:03.770-06:00Taylor Swift is my secret shame too.
