Ran the first 23 of the UVM course this morning. Ran the first almost 12 easy then got into the workout. 3 x 5k at MP with .9 mile recoveries. I have been going to shoot for 6:20 to 6:25 pace for the marathon but I just couldn't dial it in today so I ended up running the 5k's faster. First one in 19:39, second in 19:29, and last one in 19:18. Good news is everything felt really good today. Total run was 2:39:50 for a 6:54 average. No wall today, felt like a machine. Smooth, light, and happy. 3 weeks to go.
