Tonight I wanted to test my legs, after two marathons in one month and lots of tapering/recovery runs and many of them just flat without and decent speed. I started with the goal of finishing 6.2 miles in 45 minutes I ended up finishing in 42:30. It was a big confidence boost. I felt tired and for sure I was pushing all the time, no stroll in the park, but when I realized that not only I was maintaining my pace but I was accelerating I was very happy. Last 0.8 miles at slow pace to resume a decent heart rate before driving home.
