Woo-Hoo!
Training update for the (maybe) marathon:
Yesterday I ran 14 miles in 2 hours, ten minutes. This translates into about a 9 minute, 20 second per mile pace. This makes me happy because not only is it the furthest I've ever run, but by far the best pace, knocking nearly 7 minutes off of last year's half-marathon time. Yesterday was a perfect day for outdoor running. I basically have a loop that starts out at Belmont, goes up Music Row to the roundabout and then to West End, down past Vandy, down Murphy Rd through Sylvan Park, back to West End past St. Thomas to Woodmont, then through some backroads to Green Hills Mall, more backroads over to Lipscomb, then back up Belmont. The plan is to each time add a little extra mileage onto the loop with the weekly big-run. If I can keep this up then maybe-marathon might move up to probably-marathon.
