Well, I hope I don't jinx myself, but this was my best 20-mile run ever! Perfect weather = Temps in 50s, sunny and only a little breeze. Morning run in very clean air and low humidity after hurricane Irene buzzed through yesterday. Average pace for the run was 7:47. First mile in 8:14 and final mile in a brisk 6:59.=) 20 days to go, 10 days to stay healthy and get to the starting line fresh. |
