Feb. 15, 2019

Rest: 1:00.14
1 K: 4:19.23
Rest: 1:00.30

This is the last training scheduled before the Ohme 30 K Road Race held this coming Sunday. The weather forecast says it will be sunny. Day time highs are expected to reach 11 degrees Celsius. There will be mild north-northwestern winds according to the forecast, which is next to nothing. It will be an ideal condition for long-distance running. 

I reviewed my previous records for a rough estimate of when to reach the turning point. I hope to reach there somewhere between 1:18:00 and 1:19:00.

If you are interested in following me on Runners' Updates, my bib number is 3372. I hope to cross the finish line within 2:33:00 after the gun goes off at 11:30 a.m. That's 2:03 p.m. But I don't know. Condition-wise I couldn't better. But it's going to be my first barefoot 30 K race. I won't be able to run downhill as fast as I would if I had shoes on. That's mainly because I must control the speed when going down to minimize the damage on the sole. But to be totally honest, I have no idea what's going to happen. I feel like Neil Armstrong going to the Moon. I'm running to the unknown.
