Well Saturday was my last long run 18 miles done and now the taper begins. 20 days till the NJ AC Marathon, I think I am in pretty good shape for this one. Given that I haven't been able to get all the training runs done due to family issues. I feel confident that I will be able to get this one finished, maybe not in the time that I was looking for this year, but I will get it done.
I will have to wait until next year to make my run for a new PR in a marathon finish.
So anyways, I was able to finish my 18 miles in 2:36.41 average pace just under 9 minute miles. I am pretty happy with that pace, but I will need to start out the marathon a little bit slower for the first 4 or 5 miles, just to make sure I have some juice at the end of the race.
Today was a easy 5 mile run, perfect weather for a nice noon time run with my running partner. 5.25 mile run in 45.02 for a 8.57 average pace.
Like I said feeling pretty good with my running right now and I have to say that @EnergyBits has been playing a big part in how I have been feeling lately. #PoweredByBit Thanks to @EnergyBits for getting me back out on the road running and feeling great. Feeling energized and raring to get out that and run.
Have a great running day all.
