Delusions of Mediocrity?

Run: 11 miles in 1:29:26 min. @ 6:45 a.m.
Weather: Cloudy, 44°F, 73% Humidity, Wind: From S @ 7 mph; feels like 40°F.
Pace: 8:08 min/mi
Course: Park Ave Hood to Naz and Back made using USATF Map It!.


Though I haven't been training specifically for "it," I have been running the last few weeks and was coming off of a training plan for my ill-fated September marathon. With everything going on in our lives right now, I would have to do this thing alone, without Anne who (while still hospitalized this morning) has a lengthy convalescence ahead. Is it possible I could still do "it"?

Is it possible that I could be ready in only two weeks to run the 50k one year removed from my first one last year (a picture from which is to the right)? Methinks I may be deluding myself, and watching my kids run and feeling good on a slow eleven miler this morning only strengthens the fantasy...
