Bombs away!!!

What a difference a day makes! Today the walnuts had come down in force! The roads, in places, were covered with them....every now and then I'd hear a crashing and kerplunk! Walnuts! Black gold! Picking walnuts is a very big deal here in the Ozarks. You can make some pretty good money if you have opportunity.
Today was a better day than yesterday, running wise. I started off feeling a little less old! After two very slow miles; 11:58, 10:55, I felt like pushing a little, 9:59, 9:58, 8:57, 9:09-I was relaxed and cruising. The hills didn't slow me too bad and I stretched it on the downs. My buddy Larry hooked up with me for a while. He's about the happiest Lab I've every known.
I was thinking as I registered that 9:09 mile that this is the pace I have to average to get my sub-4. Man...this is gonna be tough! I will definitely need a solid taper. I'm pretty sure I will do a three week taper based off of a 50 mile week. I will have to be carbo loaded to the hilt! I must have a good strategy for refueling, and the weather will need to cooperate.
Thought for the day- "Think big...act small". Think about it....
Totals-6.24 miles/ 1:03:02/ 10:06's. Peace!
