Perfect morning for a run.  Ideal temperature.  Started with an easy 3 then ran 2 miles at marathon pace.  Ran both miles in 6:50 which is a little faster than projected marathon pace but I wanted to see how it felt.  Felt very good.  Heart rate felt a little faster than MP so I know I could not sustain the pace for a full marathon.  With 1/2 mile to go I could see Becky ahead.  Slowly closed the gap until there was 0.2 miles left and I ran all out to catch up to her.  Surprised how good that fast pace felt.

Awesome Andy!! You are so ready. Do not doubt yourself one bit, just look back at your training over the past 3 months. You have had some awesome runs and hopefully todays workout gave you all the confidence you need going into Boston.
