AM - Great workout this morning. Really happy with how it turned out.  I just went off of feel and wanted to shoot for under 2 hrs for 20 miles on the SG Marathon Course.  I barely hit it, but was really happy due to not looking at the GPS most of the way.  I also just took it easy up the hills.  The whole run felt really smooth and relaxed except for some cramping that started coming on at mile 18+.  I should have dropped another water and more fuel the last 5 miles. I was feeling pretty dehydrated the last 3 miles.  Here's the splits:

5:52, 6:44, 6:22, 6:07, 6:30, 6:03, 5:50, 5:49, 5:42, 5:34, 5:33, 5:46, 6:04, 5:37, 5:41, 5:53, 5:45, 5:59, 6:19, 6:13 - Total Time 1:58:37, 5:59 ave pace.

Overall, I'm really happy with my week.  I'm planning on keeping the miles up a bit for next week as well. Fun, Fun!!

Solid Steve. A couple more weeks and I think your time is coming this year. Say hello to a new marathon PR!
