1 week until race day...

Happy Halloween! I started off the fetive holiday with the Trinity Free Clinic 5k race this morning. The local race features a flat course with great volunteers and all proceeds benefit the medical clinic which offers services free of charge to the community. The weather was iffy at best with strong winds and occasional drizzle. Temps were in the 40's unless facing the headwind. I went into the race thinking that I was in 22:30 shape for the distance. My final time was a 23:49 placing me 77/373 overall. The good news is that I felt like I had plenty left in my legs.

One week until IMM. I am as ready as I can imagine that I will be. I look forward to a stong marathon performance followed by 2 weeks of sweet recovery. I've had several 40+ mile weeks and many more 30+ weeks.

Good luck to fellow NF Endurance runners who are participating at NYC tomorrow.
