Actually hit 16.9 today, about 1.9 more than planned. Was a great run though. Met Matt after 4.4 (7:44, 7:43, 7:29, 7:09, 6:28 [.41]). Then helped pace Matt through 9.5. He did awesome. His original goal for his marathon was 8:30s, but I think he's capable of faster. He ran 3.2 before meeting up with me. Our splits for the 9.5 were as follows (8:04, 8:14, 8:10 [some uphill during those last 2 miles], 8:02, 7:47, 7:32, 7:55 (included a solid uphill plus a touch of recovery), 7:46, 7:05 (nice bang out to finish 9), then forgot to turn on my garmin for the last .5 to my house, but mostly recovery). Then we did about 1.5ish recovery together before we went our separate ways (8:38, 8:32 -- nice to see you RECOVERING at your original MGP Matt, haha!). Blew the dust off for my last mile home in 6:43 and then 8:04 for my last .19.

Real happy with this run. It was really only my 3rd long run of the training, with the first 2 only 11 miles and 12.25 miles, so very happy to bang out 17 today.

That's a big step up. What's your next planned race?

Bayshore Marathon, Memorial Day Weekend, Northern Michigan ... not sure if I can do it, but gonna try to crack 3 hours.

Doing a 10k in a couple weeks, a half a few weeks after that, then gonna meet Matt probably 4 miles in and pace him through the rest of the St Louis Marathon in mid-April.

I basically took close to 2 years off from any 'training' after Boston. My miles were sporadic and sparse. Sometime back in March or so I started just trying to get somewhat consistent again and decided I was never going to get back to where I wanted to be until I just signed up for a marathon. So, I'm still trying to get my base and stuff back. Its coming, but slowly. Still got like 13 weeks or so. Nice to be at almost 60 miles in the 3rd week.
