Workout: dress rehearsal 7mi w/2mi at marathon race pace.

This was the run deferred from yesterday, and indeed a good call--no rain this morning. I did feel some disappointment as I caved in and wore the tights, knit hat and gloves for the first time. But again, this is not a week for machismo in the face of inclement weather.

This was a simple run down to the TCWHS track, five lap warmup, eight laps at a race pace, then five laps to warm down, and back home.

This morning also marked the beginning of my four days of food-gorging, aka "carbo-loading."
