Today was my last long walk (18.5 miles) before the marathon in two weeks, and it was a great walk. The forecast called for "tons of rain" (literally) but luckily most of the really heavy rain stayed away until the second half of the walk. I was able to beat last week's pace (10:54), so I now feel like last week wasn't a fluke but was indicative of my capabilities. This makes me even more confident that I can PR in two weeks if I race a good, smart race.
Here are my splits:
11:26
11:19
11:04
10:19
10:33
10:48
10:33
10:38
10:42
10:49
11:21
10:37
10:51
10:38
10:17
10:47
10:42
10:18
11:40 (half mile)
Now it's time to taper and get ready!
Distance: 18.5 miles
Time: 3:19:42
Pace: 10:47
