Pre run.
7 AM
Running (Road) 12:00 [2]
shoes: Lyte33 3
Warmup. With a bunch of tiny Kenyans. Pre-race routine is a bit more interesting when you're in the elite field. Succeeded in not doing something insanely stupid like trying to look impressive next to these guys, but it took all my powers of restraint.
Running race (Road) 2:57:53 [5] 26.22 mi (6:47 / mi)
shoes: Lyte33 3
The Woodlands Marathon. Good run. Passed one of the aforementioned Kenyans! (He had cramped up in the cold, wet conditions and was walking in to the next aid station). Anyway, a good race; got hardware for both third master and first grand master.
Full report,

Over to the gym and then cut M3 down to M2 (7:00, 6:45 miles). That's a wrap for the marathon cycle. Nothing left but the little matter of running the race.

Running (Road) 47:00 [3]
shoes: Sayonara 2
3x5:00T 2:00R on the treadmill, plus a few miles over to the gym (uber frosty) and direct home.
The NWS is just messing with me now. The sixth prediction in as many days is for perfect conditions, but I'm not enough of a fool to think it won't change four more times.

FFF run at Chesterfield. Garmin rep was on hand so I tried out a few watches. I guess I'm just not really a gadget kind of guy. They are marvels of technology and really not that much more than a regular sports watch of decent quality, but I just couldn't think of what I would do with that information.

Note
Well, long-range weather forecasting is always dicey, but this is ridiculous. In each of the last 5 days, a wildly different prediction for the Marathon weather has been posted. None of them are particularly dire (though if the current call for Sunday moves up to Saturday, that would suck), but the range is bewildering. Bring something for just about anything seems to be the message. So much for getting it all in a single carryon.
4 PM
Terrain (Mix) 39:00 [2] **
shoes: Boca AT
Two School Loop. Roughly equal mix of grass and very crusty snow.
