Marathon pace, felt pretty good. Going to be warmish the next couple weeks so that's nice.

2.5 stroller miles running, 2 walking

6.5 easy miles with 7-8 strides.

One of my friends runs a comedy club in Boston, I've really been wanting to go visit him and see him perform. 10 hours is a lot further to drive when you have a baby though, so I'm not sure when we'll mow it happen. If I qualify for the Boston Marathon then I'll have a safety date to make sure I get out there to see him, so as strange of a reason to try to run a sub 3:00 marathon as that might be... That's my current reason.

I know I could run 15 miles at 6:45 pace right now if I had to. I don't think I can get in good enough shape to run any of the qualifiers located here in Ohio... There's one in Pennsylvania thats far enough out and still before the 9/15 deadline, but it's a 3.5 hour drive.

Current plan is to start doing long runs every weekend and run until my body says it's time to stop. We'll see how it goes. If I'm feeling really good in April maybe I'll jump into the Cincy or Cleveland marathon. If I can run 22 miles without bonking out in April I think I'll be good, but I think it will take longer for me to get there than 2 months.

Really nice night for a run, it was somewhat cloudy with a full moon- bright enough that you could see all the clouds clearly. Perfect temperature and no wind as well.
