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.

Ahhh! I had to run by myself in the dark in a new city!! It partly made me run faster because I was afraid of the boogie man and partly made me run slower because it was dark and the path wasn't completely smooth. It's taper week and I did 7:41 min/mi average pace with splits of: 7:29, 7:50, 7:30, 7:46, 7:51, 7:43, 7:44, 7:42. I can't believe I'm consistently training at sub 8s now! So fun! :)

1.8 mile warmup, 12x400 m repeats with 200 m recovery, 1.8 mile cool down. Paces were: 6:49, 6:29, 6:20, 6:17, 6:17, 6:16, 6:14, 6:03, 5:51, 6:23, 6:18, 5:50 min/mi. My previous PR for 400 m repeats was 6:08 min/mi back in July right before I hurt my knee, and now I didn't realize I broke that 3 times in this workout!! :)

12 miles at 8:09 min/mi average pace. Whoopsies! It was recovery week and I ran with my speedy friend I was training with before I got injured. It felt pretty good and we kept trying to slow down at least! :)
