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.

My legs are still tired from cross fit Monday. Tried to stretch them really well after my run today and keeping up with foam rolling. Hope they recover soon!!! Saturday is coming quickly!

Good work on your training. You look like you've had good training ahead of your marathon and with the race performance from last Sunday that should be a good indicator that you are definately on track for your goal. The additional workouts should help your performance in the later miles at Nashville. It looks like you'll knock it out of the Park on Saturday!

Thank you, Maxfli!!! Oh the infamous taper madness. My confidence is waning and your comment means more than you know!! I can't cheat myself and gotta fill my thoughts of all my hard work over the past 12 weeks!
