The cool rainy weather was a godsend on my training run today. I wasn't sure exactly what pace and distance I was going to do, 10-12 miles, easy to marathon pace. The workout sort of found itself. I decided to do a half marathon at a sub 9:30 pace and push the last few miles. I comfortably ran it in under 2 hours and then cooled down with 2 very slow miles.

I am so happy I had a kick in me at the end and ran the last few miles sub-9. This long run had a consistency the others have lacked - so much so I even had gas in the tank to speed up at the end. I feel a greater attention to tempo and track workouts during the week has paid big dividends. I now feel very confident about the Miami Marathon and all I need to do now is rest up, do a few short and easy workouts to stay loose, hydrate, then go nail it.
