Finally a run I can feel good about. I set out to run 16 today on a course that is very hilly with the hardest miles coming at the end. I listed these as easy miles even though most of the miles were with in 15 seconds of my BQ pace and 30 seconds off my goal marathon pace. I really felt comfortable during the whole run which after having so many bad runs this week really felt extra good. I am most proud of miles 12-15 these are really hilly miles that have always slowed me down in the past. at the beginning of mile 14 I started to slow down, then the song "steady as she goes" came on my ipod it gave me the boost I needed. Splits: 9:32, 9:04, 9:10, 8:53, 9:12, 9:04, 9:19, 9:06, 9:12, 9:09, 9:11, 9:12, 8:54, 9:15, 9:22, 10:32 (walked up the big hill to my house)
