2.7.06

Good 5-mile run, varying speeds.

I was thinking that last weekend's 20-mile run was great at 3:17:05. After all, I shaved 16 minutes off my previous time for a 20-mile run. However, in checking my pace band for a 4-hour marathon I realized that 3:17:05 is not all that great. A time of 3:03:04 for 20 miles would do. That's another 15 minutes I need to loose. IMPOSSIBLE I'm thinking.

The next long run on the 17th, 15 miles, needs to be in a time of 2:17:18. I've been thinking 2:30 was good but that's not going to be good enough for Boston!
