What a shock!

Although Grendel has accompanied on all of my outdoor runs, I've been reluctant to upload all of his data out of fear of what he was going to tell me. Well, I finally nutted up and did it this afternoon and the results were not that bad. Let's take a look:

9/23 - 6.01 miles - 9:37 average pace
9/24 - 5.15 miles - 10:13 average pace
9/27 - 13.72 miles - 10:59 average pace
10/4 - 11.00 miles - 10:13 average pace

That's not too shabby if I say so myself. I've been struggling a bit over the last couple of weeks, so much so that I've actually thought about not doing the marathon and settling for the half instead. Seeing this, I think there is a mental hump that I need to get over, and this might just be the boost that pushes me over it.

That being said, I don't expect to run the Seattle Marathon more than this one time. I think if I'm going to do another marathon it will be the Rock and Roll Marathon. I'm finding it increasingly hard to go outside when it's cold and I hate that it's starting to get dark so early.
