Another Week Falls by the Wayside

Well, I let a week go by without running. I'm really get worried if I will be able to complete the marathon. I ran another 10 miler today. It was a nice, sunny 76 degrees. The first half went like this: 9:20, 9:56, 10:14, 10:21, 10:10, for a total time of 50:02. I wanted to break the 50:00 mark on the second half. It didn't happen! On miles 6 thru 9, I thought I pushed hard enough to break the 10:00 on each mile, but instead I saw the following: 10:18, 10:18, 10:18, 10:14. I thought I was running faster, but was slower. At least the pace was consistent. By Mile 10, I knew I couldn't finish at a 10:00 or lower pace, so you can see that I had given up as Mile 10 was 10:50. My total time 1:41:58, pace 10:12. Heart Rates: 170 avg, 190 max, 62 min. Recovery from 187 to 145.
