I ran my 3 mile test at the Woodbridge track again last night. It was the 45th time that I've done the test going back 5 years. I run 3 miles at a steady 140 heart rate. On Jan 3, 2007, I had my PR time of 24:36 and last night I ran 25:20, only my 7th best. I was shocked to lose 44 seconds in less than four weeks since I'm supposed to get fast over the taper. Wasn't it just 18 days ago that I broke 40 minutes in a 10k? Now I'm thinking I'm in worse shape than Dec. 2004 when I ran 3:27 because I ran a 25:05 test the week before that marathon. Can I really run a 3:15 marathon now?
Sunday's forecast is Sunny with a projected high of 70 at the beach. Hopefully, it will stay cool in the morning and I expect to be finished before 10:30.
