Cool (37) with some wind this morning.  I was out later then normal so cut the run short.  Was a little tired because of less sleep.

Cool (48) with some wind.  Felt good this morning but just an easy run.  Glad to get in a few more miles today.

Cool (50) with some light wind.  Today planned to run a 4 mile tempo with goal around 7:15 pace.  Ran 3 mile warmup and felt pretty good.  The tempo was good and felt comfortable.  Maybe pushing a little too hard toward the end since the pace was a little faster than planned.  Starting to feel better picking up the pace but still a long way to go to get back to normal pace.  Here are the tempo splits: 7:09, 7:04, 7:06, 6:59

Cool (50) but a nice morning for running.  Felt better today and after a easy first mile picked it up and felt real good.

Warmer (66) this morning and windy.  Temp ended up in low 70's when I finished.  Would have liked one of the cool mornings we have had recently.  I felt pretty good throughout.  The first 7 or 8 miles felt like I was holding back and that was good because I was feeling it in my legs toward the finish.  I was able to keep my pace steady all the way to the end which is much better then my last long run.  I am not as ready as I would like to be for the marathon but considering my lack of training the past couple of years I feel good about it.  Now just taper down.
