I wasn't expecting to be running another marathon prior to Shamrock in a month, but it looks like I just might be doing so this coming Saturday. I saw an urgent request for pacers, and while not THAT close, it's close enough so that I only need to spend one night in a hotel the night before. My training schedule calls for running 21 miles on Sunday, so the additional distance on Saturday instead isn't so bad. I've volunteered to be the 4-hour pacer. Should be eminently doable. It's considerably slower than the pace I'm supposed to be running for my long run, but I think it'll be fine by doing most of the other runs at near my expected paces.
To be able to randomly decide to run a marathon is such a nice position to be in. Hopefully there will be a decent-sized group looking to break this milestone time goal. It's a great feeling being able to bring someone across the line in their goal time. While I've never run this particular race before, it looks like it should be relatively straightforward.
