Reaching

Here's hopeful thinking. I hope I feel as good through the first 3 miles of the marathon as I felt running the 47th Street Loop tonight. I ran and walked it in 37:22, with mile splits of 12:20, 12:41, and 12:21. That is faster than I will go Sunday, but it felt easy. Nice, really. We'll see. Sunday I will not have just stepped from a car after a 14-hour work day. On the other hand, 14 hours of what I call work is usually a preferable circumstance to crawling out of bed at 4:30 in the fucking morning.
