Had to get my long run in a day early - heading down to the Tigers' game tomorrow. It would be awesome if they won tonight, then we'd have the chance to see them clinch the division tomorrow afternoon.
After doing some interval work yesterday, wasn't sure if I should try to tackle a long run tonight or not, but the weather was perfect. Ended up running for 61 minutes for a total of 6.44 miles at 9:28 per mile. It's nice to be able to maintain the long distances, but a year ago I would have ran that in 8:15 miles. It's hard to believe that it's been almost one year since I ran the Chicago Marathon. I couldn't even dream about running 26.2 miles right now - I mean adding another 20 miles to what I just did? Crazy!?!?! But I'm getting the urge to start prepping for another - looking at maybe one in Toledo in late April. I've also found my goal marathon to run when I turn 40 - the Big Sur Marathon that runs along the Pacific Ocean coast in California. Check out the pictures at www.bsim.org - pretty impressive and inspiring.
Keep running... and Go Tigers!!!
