Things did not go my way this weekend... I lost my contact lens on Friday and I didn't have an extra lens. It made things difficult the whole entire weekend especially in the marathon. Slept at 10:00pm on Saturday and woke up at 3:30 am yea I couldn't go back to sleep. We left the hotel at 5:00 am and dropped off our bags at 6:20 we left to our corrals right after. My goal was to go 2:28 for the whole distance.
Here are my 5k splits for the marathon
5k 17:38 5:41 pace
10k 17:40 5:41 pace
15k 17:34 5:41 pace
20k 17:53 5:42 pace
25k 18:27 5:45 pace this is where I just wanted to get off the course my legs felt heavy my breathing and upper body were fine but my lower body was toasted. One thing I did not like about Houston is running on the Crete it pretty much destroyed my legs it's a nice course and fast but if you can't handle the Crete forget it!
30k 19:14 5:49 pace get me out of here!

A) felt like i was losing my balance I was picking up my legs higher than usual because I was afraid of stepping on something
B) didn't do any marathon specific work just ran single runs in the 90's for 8 weeks
C) I'm fine it's a perfect setup for boston gotta work on my tempos and thresholds!
That's how the cookie crumbled!
