Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

18.2 Miles in 2:05:50 (6:55 pace) on a cold morning of 25 degrees in Little Rock.  With snow in the forecast all afternoon and into Monday morning, I hit the road early for what turned out to be a very solid, disciplined run.  Garmin 3-Mile pace splits included the following:  

Miles 1-3:  6:52/mile

Miles 4-6:  6:48/mile

Miles 7-9:  6:53/mile

Miles 10-12:  7:00/mile

Miles 13-15:  6:58/mile

Miles 16-18:  6:59/mile

Final 0.2:  80 seconds

I felt pretty good for most of the run, taking a gel (with 10 second water break) after completing Mile 9 and Mile 13; right knee held up well until beginning of Mile 16 when going down a short hill, and at that point, the remainder of the run was pretty tough.  

Looking forward to a scheduled day off tomorrow.  Hopefully, I'll be off work and playing with the kids in the snow!

Wesley, with splits like that there is no way that you shouldn't break 3 in the marathon assuming you are healthy and well rested.

Enjoy your day off if you get it.
