I considered this the biggest test so far of the training because if I did not feel better this time than I did two weeks ago, the, the actual marathon would be nearly impossible to complete on schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Ten or twelve of us met in front of PCC to run <a href=\"http:\/\/pasadenamarathon.org\/forms\/PasadenaMarathonRouteMap8-01-08.pdf\">the official Half Marathon route<\/a> that will be used in November. About half of us shaved off a south-reaching stretch to make it their preferred ten-mile route. We sent Kary and Nadir off to support us at miles six and ten (thank you both for that!), and then headed out. Some notes about the run:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The one-mile stretch up Marengo from Glenarm is not nearly as much of a climb as I dreaded.<\/li>\n<li>The one-block climb on Green Street going from St. John to Orange Grove <em>is<\/em> as much of a climb as anticipated. (But it is nothing compared to <a href=\"http:\/\/teamcrossfitacademy.com\/_wordpress\/?p=379\">Catra\u2019s climbs<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>At the Rose Bowl, we blended in with a 5-K run in progress. It was kind of fun after running over eight miles to be able to keep up with people on their three-mile runs.<\/li>\n<li>If you do not carry a copy of the route map, you had better memorize it well before heading out. We had one person visit the Langham Hotel (formerly the Ritz-Carlton), another take a tour of the Pasadena Civic Center (City Hall, the county courthouse, and other government offices), and a third who missed out on our jaunt through the &#8216;hood at mile 10.5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I was able to finish in 1:35:45, four minutes ahead of my targeted time at marathon pace. The good news for me about this one (as compared with the run two weeks ago) is that I could have continued for a couple of more miles this time. I was nowhere near being able to do that two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we had another half marathon, again a marathon pace (7:37 per mile).
