Day 3 - Pre-Race

Distance - 4 miles
Time - 28:58
Pace - 7:14 per mile
Conditions - 15-20 mph winds, 60 degrees, sunny

Today was a nice and easy run.  My legs felt pretty tired today, but it has been a long twelve weeks of training for the half marathon this weekend.  It would have been nice to have today off to rest, but it wouldn't be much of a challenge if it was easy!  The future wife and I are headed to Champaign tomorrow afternoon to hit up the expo and pick up my race packet.  Then the 5k (the first part of the I-Challenge) kicks off at 6:30pm.  I plan to take it pretty easy and just use it as a training run and save my energy for the half on Saturday morning.  Unfortunately, I have a hard time taking it easy in a race setting, so we will see what happens.  Then we have reservations at Biaggi's, which is a delicious Italian restaraunt that I think we are both looking forward to.  Well time to get packed and get to bed early.  It's going to be a long weekend!
