Levy Loop/Little Rock Marathon course

It's 75 degrees with a breeze soft as Pam's belly crawling from the southeast. I ran and walked the Levy Loop in 22:52, with splits of 11:33 and 11:19. That's a 4:59:46.06 marathon pace. It was easy. I hope to go 10 miles at about 12 minutes a mile tonight and finish feeling full of run, like it wouldn't be dick to run another 16 miles at the same pace.

It's 72 at 10:19 p.m. Central. I guess it was a little warmer when I started my run of the first ten miles of the Little Rock Marathon course at about 7:30 p,m. The weather was comfortable, except for the wind. I ran it in 1:57:02, with splits of 11:55, 11:42, 11:47, 11:54, 12:26, 11:19, 11:54, 11:15, 11:20, and 11:31, or an average of 11:42.2; a 5:06:51 marathon pace. It was work at the end. I don't think I could have maintained that pace for more than another five miles.

My over-under for Sunday is 5:27. I recommend the over.
