Shakeout before the race. Did 2 200ms at race pace, track team was out so I just used my Garmin for a little over .12 on the bike path. Not sure how accurate it was but it felt good, I also did 2 short strides about race pace.

Pretty confident I can average 6:20 pace or better. I'll try to take it easy the first mile and then run 6:15-6:20 for each mile for the first half, then I'll either try to hold on to the pace or speed up if I'm feeling good the last 5 miles.

Easy run. I like how open it is in Ohio, there was a storm that just missed us and while I was at the track I could see the lighting flashing in the clouds a city or so over. Great night for a run and I felt good.

I did a half mile at hm pace and a couple strides. Hm pace felt good, it was a little slow at 3:11 but I was trying to simulate the start and trying not to get out too fast.

Hot day, just did a short easy run- mostly on the grass. Amazing how much more draining grass running seems when it's hot.
