Run 9 Napa Valley Training

Run 9 today made me realize, at least for the foreseeable future, the idea of running a fast ... or even moderately quick ... Napa Valley Marathon is a dream that will go unfulfilled. Goal was to run a tempo 4-miler at 6:50 pace in the middle of the run. Couldn't do it. Could do two@6:50 but felt like dead legs and dying after. Oh well. Rethink my assumptions. Two days in a row of not drinking ... hey maybe that's the problem! Probably not. Total miles: 8.25. YTD: 89.75.
