Greenbelt - 2:24
Long run today. Feeling like I need to put in 3 or 4 really good mileage weeks before the marathon on May 31. The heat was a factor today for the first time in 2008 - I even got a little sunburned (maybe due to the fact I started my run at 1 pm). There were literally hundreds of bikers, runners and walkers out on the greenbelt today.
I started in Ann Morrison Park and ran down onto the Garden City/Eagle stretch, and came back the same way back to my house. I intended to do a slow first 16-17 miles and then finish hard, but it ended up being just a steady run the whole time (7:12/mile ave). The last 3 miles were definitely tough and there was no way I could pick it up much.
