3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :)

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Got me some new Pegasus today to add to my list! I'm not OCD I swear! Okay, so the story is, I have a pair of Pegasus in FL and 2 pair in Chicago (shield and normal) since I travel so much and don't want to cart stinky running shoes around. I feel like the cushioning of the Shields are somewhat stiffer than the normal Pegasus (Shields are the gortex version) and I really don't like to do faster runs and long runs in the Shields because it feels like more pounding. Thus, I had to get another pair of normal Shields since I only have Shields in Cambridge.

Okay, I feel better having explained myself...This was the longest midweek run of my entire 18 week schedule - 14 miles. Since it was the one and only 14 miles, naturally I had to kick that 14 miler midweek's butt! 7:45 min/mi average pace. Oh, and after watching the Disney marathon course video, I decided to alter my route to include more "bridges" so I'm prepared for the 2 overpasses in the marathon. So that's a 7:45 min/mi pace with 10 bridges!!! I didn't want to stop because I knew I'd get a rush of tightness and soreness, but it actually wasn't too bad. Although it may be a little faster than desired, I'm glad I did it to know how my body will feel if I try to pull that pace in the marathon!

Ahh...no tempo run this week, instead, an extra recovery day. I'm going to need it to reap these benefits!!! :)

Nice run! Looks like you are prime for a great marathon.
