Weaning and pacing

Okay, we're less than a month away now and it's time to learn to pace on your own without sergeants reminding you. The goal is even miles - the first and last about the same. We're going to attempt that today with 4 to 4.5 miles of evenly paced work. Grab a similar paced friend or two and the leaders will still be around to help guide you as we work our way through a course that winds back towards the fairgrounds and allows us to pick up water at the grandstand and then return. We'll focus on even pacing and attempting to run longer (even if it's slower) and walk faster when we walk. I hope that all makes sense. There's a surprise for all at the end of today's run/walk.
