800 repeats at lunch w/ Darin and Dave.

The first 2 were a little fast (3:06, 3:08), when we turned to come back into the wind, I was out of gas. (3:20, 3:30), then jogged back. The wind was gusting, but my legs were heavy today.

AP: 8:15

61F, 17-25 NW, 34% humidity, sunny

I got a little bit of a relief in an email today. I'm no longer pacing Big-D (the organizer decided not to use our pacers this year). No pressure now..and if I feel good, and the weather is right, it might be time to go for a BQ.

no pressure is a good thing - there's enough pressure on running a marathon
