This is the best time of the year to run.  Temperatures are perfect.  My plan was to run a few easy miles then start to gradually pick up the pace.  First 8 miles were pretty slow. Next 2.4 miles were a pretty good downhill and are pretty similar to SGM.  Decided to test goal marathon pace.  Pace felt surprisingly easy (6:40/mile).  Made a pit stop at home to get some Gatorade and wake up my wife.  Started out again and eased into the remainder of the run.  First 3 miles were at 7:30/mile pace.  Next 4.8 miles were at 7:00/mile pace with 2 of the miles at GMP (6:50).  Once again, the pace felt surprisingly easy.  Things are finally feeling like they are coming together.  Hopefully I will feel this good in 1 month.

 Total Time: 2:18:11 (7:36/mile)
