Iron Pol: July 2007

Friday, July 27, 2007. Running Down the Dream. In this case, I knew that my 8:30/mile pace was insufficient. To get under the original time target of 5:30 for the race, I would have to run closer to eight flat.

As the miles passed, it became apparent I was clocking pretty consistent 9 miles. The "plus" was tough to gauge, because the mile markers were irregular, and some seemed to be a bit inaccura...
