9:10AM start, 60F sunny, no wind. I slept little last night and was a bit tired this morning. Of course I didn't use that as an excuse! I ran in a somewhat slower pace (7:44). These extra 10-12 seconds a mile made the run really comfortable. What puzzles me is that this pace suppose to be my marathon pace. I can see myself run at this pace for 5 miles maybe 10 miles, but a whole marathon? I know you people here say that speed will come with increasing the daily distance and moving to 6 days a week. I hope you are right :-)
