Going for 12k record

On Saturday, I embark on a new challenge. Something that feels familiar from years passed.
To set a single -age (53) state record for a 12k, I must run under 45:24. This is running around 3:47 per 1000 meters. Weather conditions should not hinder my attempt. I believe I can do this in 44:25 or better.
The record was set in 1984 by SteveBlanchard. I will be running in the Glen Lafarlette Run. The procedes to the race go to a memorial honoring Glen and his great contributions to long distance running in Oklahoma.
I ran 12 strong miles on Tuesday then went to the track on Wednesday evening and ran 6 1000's in 3:38, 3:30, 3:38, 3:31, 3:34, 3:27 . I feel nervous but confident. I will give it my best.
