Around the Bay 30K - 3 days away

OLDER THAN BOSTON!

Yes, that is how they promote this race. In fact it is older than the Boston Marathon. 1894 was the first year this race was run. For Boston, it was 1897.

Information on these 2 events

So, with the big ticket goal race being the Mississauga Marathon on May 10, this weekend's race becomes a sub goal. I do want to do well and I definitely want to beat last year's time which shouldn't be too hard as I am definitely in better condition. Last Year's time was 2:35:29, this year I am gunning for under 2:20 which will put me on track to run 3:20 for the Marathon. It is actually a faster pace than a 3:20 marathon but allows for some slow down over the additional 12k.

So this weekend will be a good test. Not a 100% guaranteed prediction either way for Mississauga but at least it will either build confidence, or make me realize I have a lot of work left to do. And with Mississauga only 6 weeks later, that could be an issue!

Accountability since last post: Almost None.

Good snacks, no junk other than the fact Cam had hockey last night and it was 8:30 by the time we could get dinner. So we grabbed Wendy's on the way home. Single, no cheese, no mayo, no fries, water as beverage. Barely passable as a meal I know but better than a full out combo!

No core workout yesterday but I did get to bed early for a change.
