Quarter Complete - 8 miles (254 total)

8.09 miles
1:06:49
8:14 pace

Finally, the cool fall weather is here. I think it should last at least through the race on Sunday. Chris and I left the office about 7:15. Chris had a sharp pain in his thigh after about a half mile, so we stopped briefly and did some more stretching. After that we took the rest of the run at a slightly more leisurely pace than usual, but ended up running a bit longer than our usual pre-work run.

I was happy with the pace - my calf didn't hurt at all, though I could certainly feel it when I stretched after the run. I think I should be able to run the race at this pace for about ten miles, then try to increase the pace for the last three.

Broke 250 miles today - one quarter of the way there.

Hope the calf holds up. At least it seems to be getting better.
