60F, 7:45 AP.  Ran after work to maximize sleep this morning.  Easy run, with 2 x 0.5 @ MP on the way back home.  I tried to pace the second one without looking at garmin and it was 6:36 pace.  I think the lesson is to not get carried away early on.  I don't need to be splitting the first 10k in 41 like I did at OKC...

Sleep is great isn't it! I slept 10 hours last night, it was awesome. I felt fantastic this morning.

6:36 on effort sounds like a good indication that you're in sub 3 hour shape ;-)

The marathon gives you plenty of time to make up for a conservative start.

Good luck this weekend Joe! We're rooting for you!!!
