Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.31	0.00	10.31

Ran my typical 9 mile loop with modifications. calf felt pretty good it was tight but didn't ever hurt too much. I think I'm going to try and give the race a go tomorrow, but I have an excuse in my pocket ready to pull out in case I run poorly (which is a bad thing because when the race gets tough mentally then I'll remember I have that excuse and I will probably end up running bad just because of that). AP today was 7:00.

Good luck tomorrow.

Be prepared mentally for that point in the race where your body wants/asks/begs to slow down just a tad. In that moment you have literally one second to mentally decide to overcome that. Any hesitation and your body makes the decision for you and your optimal performance is gone for good. Know that split second decision will come and be ready to conquer it.
