I don't remember exactly how far I ran this week, but it wasn't very much. I have been so lazy and because I've got to bed late a lot of the time, I tell myself that I'm too tired to run and it would be worthless if I tried, so I've just stayed home. I am definitely suffering the consequences of the laziness. There is a noticeable difference in both how fast I can run and how far. With the marathon only three weeks away, the next two weeks have to be extremely focused if I want to have any hoping of breaking three hours in this marathon.

This was an "easy" run, 7:04/mile. I wasn't planning on running this fast, but I felt really good, so I just kept going at that pace.

This was a tempo run. I warmed up for three miles, then ran 7 tempo miles averaging probably 6:10 per mile, then a two mile cool down.

Same as Tuesday, 3 mile warm up, six miles of tempo at about 6:00-6:10 pace, then a two mile cool down.

I planned on running five easy today, but I moved out of my old apartment and into my new one today, so by the time all of that happened, it was too late.

I did a 20 miler today. It wasn't easy, and it wasn't very fun, but in the end I averaged 6:49/mile, which is under the pace I need for a three hour marathon, so I'm really happy about that. I'm a little worried because I don't think I would have been able to keep that pace for six more miles, but it was a good run. I think I'll finish just under three hours in the marathon. It's just two weeks away now, which is weird!
