Its 11 days

until the 09 Marine Corps Marathon. I've never trained so much for any race, having logged over 1,300 miles so far this year. I have a nagging minor pull in my groin from a 21 miler 3 weeks ago. It worries me, not on whether I can do a marathon, rather than whether I can sustain a 9 minute pace. I ran a 24-miler the subsequent Sunday. The question in my mind is whether the intensity of a 9 minute mile might cause it to act up.
