Decent run this morning in great spring weather--42 degrees. I ran the Cedar Knoll Loop, plus a little on the Kanarraville frontage road for 13 miles, finishing at the college track. Slight knee pain (right knee) just before 4 miles, but then nothing after that. I got a little carried away with spring fever and thought I'd try some barefoot jogging on the football field, but was only able to do 800m before my feet were numb. I guess the snow in the corner of the field should have given me a clue that it's still a little cold out. Another 800 meters to my house and now work for the rest of the day. This was my last "short" long run for 7 weeks, then I'll start to taper for Lincoln. I'm getting pumped, especially after last Saturday's workout.

Total Time: 1:20:57

Pace: 6:13

Mile 1 was 6:38, miles 2-13 none slower than 6:18

you've got some impressive credentials/achievements -your 5k time is jaw-dropping and the workout you had today makes it seem that 2:40 marathon goal is very do-able.
