2 weeks to OKC
So here I am, two weeks from the Oklahoma Memorial Marathon and I finally have a race day game-plan.
You see, I need to treat this as a training run. I am running RNR-SD in June and really want to kick butt there. But I also want to beat last years time at OKC (5:23).
Are both possible?
You bet.
And here is here is how.
I am going to run the first 20 miles (my "scheduled" training distance for SD) with Gina, who is hoping to run the sub 5-hour marathon - my goal for SD. I will run with her at a 10:45 - 10:55 pace. At the 20 mile point, I will see how I am feeling. If I am still strong, I will keep the pace and finish with Gina. If I am struggling, I will run-walk the last 6 miles, maintaining about a 12:30 pace and will easily finish in under 5:20. And be ready for SD, just 5 weeks later.
Oh, and I just got my new "meal plan" from Koach Karl. Anyone want to take a stab at what a "naked burrito" is.

....I would guess it means no cheese and therefore not worth eating.
No tortilla?
If that's it, are the fajitas at gobbler grind doomed? Those fajitas are legendary!
