Two Weeks before Saint Louis Marathon
Ran nine mile this morning with the Run319 group. Jeff and I ran slightly faster. I was surprised to see that we ran at 8:18 min/mile average for the nine miles!

Finding a Pacer for Saint Louis Marathon
I talked to my friend Jeff into pacing me for the last thirteen miles of the Saint Louis Marathon. I would like to finish the marathon in about 3 hrs and 38 min.
My strategy is to stay with the 3:40 pace group (8:23 min/mile). Then, meet Jeff at mile 13 and stay with the group or run slightly faster. I need to stay with the group, so I don't get burned.

Lucky Run 10K
Decided to run Lucky Run 10K at the last minute. Registered late, but still had a chance to pick up a shirt. They didn't promise to give me a medal, but they did.
I was glad with my chronos. GARMIN LINK.
First place in the 10K was Amanda Edwards. A girl that belongs to Run a Blaze Iowa. Very impressive times.
Ran 20 miles on Sunday. GARMIN LINK.
I am scared of trying to run @ 8:20 pace in St Louis marathon. But, I was happy I was able to run faster than that for my last couple of miles in the 20 mile run.

Recovering from Cold
Not sure how I got sick. Being sick together with some cold temperatures slowed me down this week. Mileage went down, but I guess I needed a small break too.
Ran eight miles this morning with the group. we cancelled our Tue/wed morning run because of the snow/ice/rain and cold temperatures this week. So, I really didn't miss any group run.
