Race prep

This morning I attempted to run the Levy Loop at the pace I hope to use at the start of the Little Rock Marathon tomorrow, but believe I failed. I jogged slowly, walked slowly, and covered it in 26:39, with mile splits of 13:10 and 13:29. Maybe, just maybe, I can average 13:29 a mile for 26.21875 miles (for a 5:53:31), but don't bet on it. My over-under remains six hours. I would recommend taking the under, but without particular confidence.

The weather was gorgeous for such a trot, perhaps 50 degrees, with no wind. I think I'll go to the driving range.

Oh. I saw Sam, who didn't come in last night, chasing birds on a lawn behind the Taco Bell. She thus has established a wander-around range of at least four blocks, which might explain why I found her at a cat pound.
