I know how to set a good pace for myself for any race up to 10km, but today’s training called for one mile at an easy pace (9:29 per mile), three miles at medium pace (8:09 per mile), and one final mile at the easy pace. If I want to live through the marathon — not to mention the marathon training — I am going to have to learn to pace myself better. I ran my “easy” miles at about an 8:15 pace and the medium ones at about 7:45 apiece. I hope to get better at this without buying a really neat watch.

After talking to Kate this morning, I am pretty sure Ryan and I are cousins.
