Scheduled 3 miles (1 Easy, 2 MP).  Did it. 

Splits 8:57, 8:37, 8:19 – Kind of a progressive run as I look at it although a very short one!

I ran 3.02 miles @ 8:37/mile in 26:03.  Marathon pace miles.  Will consider Marathon pace to be 8:30/mile.  For the upcoming marathon, planning to keep the splits in the 8:30s range.  If the marathon is done at anywhere between 8:30-8:39/mile average pace range, then a great result. Current PR for the marathon distance is 3:54:20 at 8:56/mile pace.  Breaking 3:45 would be a huge accomplishment.  From there…next marathon goal would be 3:30 for the distance.  We’ll see!  First things first.  Work on breaking 3:45. 

No more running until the Marathon.  The Race Plan this time: Consistent splits.  Break the race up into four six mile portions.  Then 2.2 left to go – no problem…haha.  No FAST running until post 20 miles.  THEN I will see if I can go faster.  If I am able to step on the gas – I’ll save it for the last 3.2 miles.
