Thanks to Jake for suggesting this (confidence-boosting) workout. Originally when I checked my garmin splits, some of the "average paces" were a bit slower than the "moving time" or "average moving pace"... I think the average pace must include all the little undulations of the satellite signals, so Im going to go with the (faster) moving times on this one ;)

It was a really hard workout, and for a couple of those miles I was running scared in pitch dark! The last mile felt very tough, but I was pleased that I held on.

Thanks guys!! I rechecked my splits, and they came out as 6:56, 6:57, 6:49, 6:57, 7:00 (the pitch black mile) and 6:40. Not as good as I originally thought :/

Trying to maintain confidence though - your encouragement has helped a lot!

Still good - and you finished well under goal pace.

You'll do very well this weekend. A little race day magic will be a nice boost!
