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.

AM: 20min tempo @ 7:45 min/mi AP - getting a better idea of my fitness. I think I hit this tempo spot on, my % max hr stayed between 88-92. I'm noticing I have no stamina. My previous training cycle was too much interval not so much steady, longish effort.

PM: 30 mins heavy weights.

7 miles trying to keep things aerobic, which was a little tough with the heat and humidity. 9:18 min/mi AP - 84% max hr. Running is starting to feel easier again.

Treadmill 1% incline. 5x800m @ 7:20 pace (last repeat @ 7:15 pace) with equal time recoveries. I haven't done this effort for this long of a repeat in over a year! It felt good, and I know I just need to work on my confidence.

Minuteman Bike path. This is a magical path for me. I always seem to bust out a speedy long run here! Maybe it's bc of the small grade out and negative grade back. :) 8:12 min/mi AP with a 7:22 for the last mile - that mile was faster than my tempo miles! Opps.
