09:25 Finally getting out of town. I wanted to leave at 7! Yeah right. #

09:26 Didn't bring my headlamp, didn't bring my tent lantern. So that's how it's gonna be. #

20:40 Hey everyone. Sitting in humboldt, in a tent that's supposed to be waterproof but isn't... #

20:41 ...and a rainfly that's supposedly rainproof but obviously isn't, with no extra tarp. #

20:42 I have a very waterproof backpacking tent that will hold 2 ppl on a good day. We have 7 ppl. #

20:43 It also appears my wife wants to blame me for the whole debacle. #

20:44 She asks, "What are we going to do?" and I give options that only piss her off. #

20:46 Every marathon book or article says not to be stressed prior to a marathon. Uhhhh... #

20:54 OK back to the tent. Sorry to bring everyone down. #

21:51 Going to bed now. By getting lucky I was referring to having a happy family. Nite all. #

22:56 Doing the Avenue of Giants Marathon on Sunday! #

Final Taper Run - 3 miles

Today was the last run before Sunday's Avenue of Giants marathon. It actually worked out well, because I had to take my wife to work anyway, so what I did was run the 3 miles as soon as I dropped her off, then came back to use the restroom after.

A user named @keeponrunning on Twitter told me that his Thursday runs are usually a good indicator of his performance on race day the following weekend. If I go by his estimates, Sunday's going to be fabulous!

Goal was 3 miles at projected marathon pace, which is 8:52/mi.





Splits
Mile 1: 8:49.65
Mile 2: 8:39.75
Mile 3: 8:35.86

3 miles, 26:06.41, 8:41/mi average, 360 calories burned

Then this afternoon, I needed to drop something by to my pastor. When I got there, there were still quite a few people at the church, so we all prayed for the marathon. It was great!

Hopefully it'll go as well as today's run went.
