15 very nice, warm miles in the Bank of Boston. Headed out at 5:30am and it was warm. I kept the pace easy, not wanting to get hurt a week from the marathon. 8:03 average pace. Went out over Tonaquint 3/4 of a mile and realized I forgot my drink so I went back home, took a layer of clothing off- warm. Then went back over and down to the Dixie Center extending to River Road to Brigham Road. Turned at the Pilot Station over to the river and then trail to home. The last 3 miles I pushed just a little harder to mimic race conditions when I am tired. That part felt the best of the whole run.
The legs felt great today and I can finally feel that I can actually do this marathon and have fun!
