Hit the pipeline route today after work. So nice today. Ran a nice even effort up the canyon and the hills and then got a few marathon pace miles in at the end. Iced in the river afterward at Vintage park. My socks rolled off the rock and the current was too fast to risk it so I waved them goodbye.

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.
