Before I get started, if you're looking for a good laugh and a few helpful hints to prepare for your next race, visit http://www.runningahead.com/forums/post/a51615f7545c4b64bc6a284ab539dc7b#focus and scroll down a short way to the first post by JakeKnight. I laughed and laughed. So even if you are looking for helpful hints on running a race, you should read through a few of his "tips".
Ok, now for the update. Over the weekend I ran 8 miles and maintained a 10:15 pace! Go Me! I was very happy with this and the run overall was very good. The night before, I had a streaker from Moe's Southwestern Grill. It was GREAT fuel and will probably become a staple for Friday nights.
Today was my second magic mile and the weather was far from optimal. It was a chilly 50 degrees with a strong wind, but none the less, I dropped 45sec off my time!!! I ran an 8:06. Pinal ran a 7:30 while Irfan managed a 6:49! Everyone cut their times by quite a bit. All these long runs are paying off and we're thrilled.
Time to get some rest so I can keep running...good night!

I was going to say something like 'should you be running your long run at race pace?'
But I can't talk...
Carry on.
