AM: Marathon pace progression run. ran an average of 5:30 for the last seven and it didn't feel too difficult. My percieved effort was right at marathon pace. It is a net downhill at the end so some of the splits are a little faster than actual marathon pace would be on a level ground. Still, I think I will be able to handle 5:30-5:35 by the time Philly rolls around.  Note: it's a stark contrast to how hard it felt in that half marathon last week but if I can keep running in the 5:20s for my marathon pace during workouts and feel just fine, I'm going to do it.

pretty damn tired this morning. Only managed about 8:30 pace since my legs didn't feel like going any faster than that which is fine because of the quality long run I got in yesterday. felt a lot more recovered in the evening.

extremely humid this morning, as bad as any summer morning. it was 74 degrees with a 73 dewpoint. The water was just hanging in the air. Started fast at 78 then went all the way down to 69-70 for the last one. just buckets of sweat but George handed us our water bottles several times and thus I was never super dehydrated. Pretty dang tired though it was a tough workout and my shoes were squishing with each step at the end. I also woke up at 4 am with a raging hunger and downed a bowl of golden grahams. I'm in the thick of it now, always hungry, tired, and am looking lean. much better weather in the evening

20 degrees cooler this morning than yesterday--actually chilly with a rainy wind. It's like yesterday was summer's last dying breath.

raining, windy, 55 degrees. perhaps the most peaceful run I've had in ages. all of the fair wether cyclists and runners were nowhere to be seen which means I got the trails all to myself for the most part. In some ways this is the best weather for running. I'll take it over 80+ degrees any day.
