In honor of 8 days to go (yesterday): My best Tempo run of this training cycle was on 7/14/16. I completed 8/8 intervals within my pace window. This was the only Tempo run with a 100% interval within pace window completion.

Did you know I completed a total of 7 runs designated as Strength workouts? They started on 8/9/16 through 9/20/16. This was the Marathon Specificity part of the training cycle.

I miss one day and there's a contest! Ok, I'm going with 3:13:31 because it looks cool. And 13 is lucky, don't let anyone tell you that it's not.

Sorry for missing a day...crazy day yesterday (in a good way). Since I'm starving right now but won't eat until after kiddo's swim school...you get this mile 7, bwahahaha!

No worries. LOL, Now I'm going to be thinking about Grilled Food at Mile 7.

3:19:59

FYI, I put your guess at 3:19:58 because another person had one at 3:20:08 (10 second rule).

Mile 7 is too early to start thinking about grilled foods. How about start thinking about that with .7 miles to go!
PS that eatery is in Marathon, FL. If you ever do a pilgrimage there.

Another Weather Update (7 days to go!)

Start - Grafton, WI



End - Milwaukee, WI



Temps are steady at 105-118. The wind is picking up slightly. However, we now have clouds predicted. Getting rid of the sun with clouds would be epic.

 

[jhorstma]

You're predicting 3:17:49, so I believe you! Now go do it!

Haven't made my prediction quite yet, shhh it's a secret... I wanted to see what you guys said before I made mine. But the 3:17:49 is what I set my training plan at roughly 20 weeks ago, so it's a valid basis for a guess.

 

[run.minnie.miles]

I came over from the running thread! My guess is 3:15:00. Good luck and have fun!!!

That's enough of your slacking. You really need to get on top of this.

 

[pixarmom]

I'm going with 3:12:08.

Uh oh....

Gigi is sick!

Time to move into a hotel for the week!

 

[gjramsey]

3:16:37

Good Luck!

 

[Anisum]

Hmmm... 3:17:12 but really I think Gigi might be right.

 

[disneydaydreamer33]

3:15:45 If you run any of these times that have been guessed, I know I will be impressed! Good luck!

 

[DopeyBadger]

Hmmm... 3:17:12 but really I think Gigi might be right.

Me - "Hey Gigi, How fast is daddy going to run his marathon?"

Gigi - "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9..."

Me - "Umm, ok.... 1:23:45 it is!"

Although, I guess I could have put her prediction at 1:23:45.6789... LOL!
