Did the Cammack Village loop from the state Capitol today. Not an easy run, as Cammack is about 150 vertical feet above the Capitol and you go up and down a lot of hills once you get up there. Took it fairly easy for the first 8 miles or so, then kinda put the hammer down once I headed back down Kavanaugh; miles 11-14 were all under 9:00, as were 17-17.29. I can always seem to pick up the pace at the end no matter how good or bad the run was. Early miles were slow in large part because I ran with Michelle and Michael. They're getting faster, but they're not there yet :) . After mile 10, they stopped for a water break and I kept going and accelerated. Anyway, the taper has now begun. Three weeks from this moment (8:45 a.m. CST) I'll be on the course at Memphis, and hopefully on my way to Boston.
