<p>Rest day here.  Me, DW, & DD are gonna hit up the Expo this afternoon.  Off work tonight for a good nights sleep and also off tomorrow so I can enjoy the post race stuff and not worry about limping home and getting in bed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for my goals tomorrow, I'll be happy w/ a PR (sub 1:42:57), but really shooting for Under 1:40.  Really hoping I can avg 7:30 the 1st half, then kick it up a notch for the second if I have the juice.  Looks like we're gonna have great weather.  Should be mid 40s at the start.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ETA:  Also, if any of you are bored outta your minds tomorrow, there is supposed to be a tracker at this race</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.stjudemarathon.org/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.stjudemarathon.org/index.htm</a>  BIB # 5598  Race starts @ 8:00.  not sure what wave I'll be in... 3rd? I think they started about 5-10 minutes apart last year</p>

<p>Good luck, BBS! I like your general strategy of starting comfortably and finishing strong...but I recommend the following tweaks to your splits...take it out a little slower, at around 7:40 pace, then starting picking it up gradually in the second half. Try to average around 7:35 for your second half and you've got that 1:40 in the bag. </p>

<p>As for me...probably just walking today. I've biked the last three days and it's felt good, but I think I need a little break from it. Still a few days away from lacing up the running shoes again, so walking it is, probably followed with some weights or core.</p>

<p>Have great workouts everyone. TGIF!</p>
