Another Long Run that went well! This is the same run I did twice in January. Results then were (7:41 Pace @ 149 HR and 7:43 Pace @ 152 HR). I feel I have made good progress in these long runs.

I think I'm getting close to being able to run a 3:16 marathon but still a long way off from a 3:10.

7 Easy recovery at the gym and some upper body weights.

“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.
