AM: Planned on about 8 easy, but the temp and legs felt good, so I decided to tempo. After missing a good marathon goal pace tempo the first two weeks, I've been itching to get one on the books. 2 mile warmup straight into the workout. 7:38 (slow but a good first warmup mile), 7:31 (perfect for the first half), 7:23, 7:20, 7:30 (several turns and pedestrians). 7:28 average, which is about a 3:16 marathon. Walked a little bit and reset my watch for a 1.75 mile cool down.
PM: One of the many versions of Old Standby (if I can still call it that) - 5.25 miles, averaged 8:26
