Well one more week of increases and then I start the taper to the marathon. Today was was a 13 mile run. I missed my 5 mile run the other night do to a night of a drunkin stooper amongst a work Christmas party. All in all it was a great night. Anyhow today was my long run day and I did a very easy 13 miles without pushing myself at all. I am actually surprised at how easy the 13 mile runs have gotten. I did the 13 miles in 1:49:15 for an average pace of 8:24 minute miles. I was going to run outside but it was just so cold and I really wasn’t ready for the cold and icy runways. It’s just to close to marathon to twist and ankle or something stupid. It was good to run todays as it really helped me clear my head, so much to think about.
