re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

I kind of feel similar. The heat and humidity in TX has really killed my pacing on long runs the last couple of months. I felt I put in the best work I could with the conditions given but don't want to use that as an excuse heading into the race.

I trust the plan that was put together for me with the goals I set. My 21 miler on Sunday gave me confidence I can get sub 4 easily. The question is how far under 4 should I try for? I want to enjoy the race and experience, plus having experienced a destination marathon in 2019 I know to curb some of my expectations as I won't be able to have similar food leading up to the race.

Ultimately my goal is to enjoy it and go for 3:45. I signed up for Houston in January and I may try and push for sub 3:30.
