Lunch: Treadmill - 8.5 miles in 60:30. Did 30 minutes @ 9 MPH and a few strides in the last 10 minutes. Core (ab bench) + stretching.

I keep trying to talk myself out of a spring marathon, but then I watch this: Philly 2014 Finish

AM: Medium Long Run Route - 13.25 miles, averaged 7:53. Did a good set of strides.

PM: 15 minutes on the bike + 4 miles in 30:15 on the treadmill. Wasn't planning on running again, but the weights were taken up by stack slammers so I figured I'd burn some more lard.

Mileage is getting up faster than I planned and I've got back to doubles sooner than I usually do this time of year, but I need to run the crazy out.  I'll try to keep it sensible and go from there.

North West Philly LR Loop - 20 miles, averaged 7:41

The plan was 30k for 30 years old (a day early because tomorrow the weather won't be nearly as pleasant as it was today), but I took an exended turn in Whitemarsh and got too long before coming back into Philadelphia. So 30k with 2k for good luck.

Probably should run Sugarloaf given that I am in pretty solid aerobic shape and I have a solid 4 months until race day.
