Today I ran at 7PM when the sun wasn't quite as high in the sky.  I went the same route as yesterday and went a little harder I guess, but I wasn't pushing anything. 

During the run I wasthinking about marathon pace.  Once again I can't imagine going at sub 6:50 pace for 26.2....

8.2 @7:15 pace

Great job, man. I can't even imagine holding a 10:00 pace for 26.2.

Does it blow your mind that you ran well below 6:50 pace for 26.2 miles. I sometimes wonder how I ever did it once at 6:50 pace, but that is why we train and peak right at race time so we can do it on that day even though we can't do it all the time. Great run.

Yeah it is totally crazy, Rhett.

Dale - I know you'll get there. It just takes time.
