Set out on my run at 6:30 am, it started out a very nice morning but got windy as the run went on but not to bad.  The first 5 miles i had some trouble getting my breathing down and just needed to relax a little and it got better.

18.0 miles  2:40:20 time  8:54 pace  I am very happy with that as i am wanting to hit under a 4:00 Marathon in Aug. at the Mesa Falls Marathon.  This will be my 2nd Marathon as my first one in June at the San Diego RnR Marathon i did not put in enough distance miles as i got tired from mile 16  and finished it in 4:29:18, So i am wanting to put long miles in  hope that that will not happen that some in the next one. 

I am looking for all the advice i can get!!!!!!

Went to the cabin in Island park yesterday afternoon for some RnR that we needed.  Got up at 6:00 am this morning and set out for a easy run,  7 miles in 1:06:30 at a 9:30 pace

Started out at 4:30 am  and had in my head that i was going to do a 10K tempo run and to find ou my improvement over the last few months. Well-- it was the fastest 10K that i have ran ever,   51:01.  Sub 50:00 here i come!!!!!!!  And the ended up running 9.15 miles total.

Woke up on time this morning, but had a hard time getting out the door--once i got out and on my way i had a hard time getting out of the truck--once out of the truck i had a hard time getting my butt running but you know it was the best run i have had in a long time once i got done.   It took everything mental to finish this  run and it was not that i was in bad shape body wise but in my head i had a hard time finishing it and just doing it and it was like i was at mile 20 in a marathon and i needed to break that wall--- and i did !!!!!!!!
