10 weeks to the Fargo Marathon

Yikes! It's coming up fast.

I ran 18 miles early morning last Friday. That went well except for the spot of frostbite on my chin. The temperature that morning was around -5F. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to running in warmer conditions.

This week:

Mon - 6 x 800m intervals
Tue - some easy miles
Wed - 40 minute Tempo
Thu - Yoga
Fri - 9 easy miles
Sat - rest
Sun - 8K race

My 8K race goal is 34:42 which is a 6:59 average pace. I really want to average better than a 7:00 pace. One-second better is enough. :-) I have a chance if the pavement is dry. No-way if there is snow.
