Saturday morning run, partly cloudy, temp. 60-65

Supposidly Larry signed me up for the SGM.  To bad I've only been averaging less than 20 miles a week the last 6 weeks.  I've also gain almost 5lbs since the WBR.  Anyway I decided to do a long run at close to Marathon pace and see how my body would handle it.  After about 8 miles I was thinking that 26 miles is a long long way.  After 12 miles I got a few twinges in my legs that tell me that my legs will cramp up in a few miles unless I slow down.  So I slowed down to 8:00 min miles for the last couple that are slightly down hill.  Also at about mile 11 my left arch started to get a hot spot telling me that a blister was coming on.  Luckily it didn't get to bad.

Yesterday I was thinking I might try to run the 1st half with Tom but after todays run I was thinking if I did that then I'd do a 90 minute 1st half and a 150 minute 2nd half.  I think I'd rather do two 100 minute halves.  I'll have to see if my idea changes as I ramp up for the marathon next week.

Time 1:45:45,  Mile avg. 7:28

Also, my knees have been aching after the run.  I'm not use to distances anymore.  Why do I get old and fat?
