Fourteen weeks down, and 4 to go. Another very encouraging week of training for the race. Did 12 miles this morning and barely broke a sweat. Did it in 9:37 min/mile pace, too. Would have been an even better time if I hadn't had to make an emergency stop at mile 3.5. Thankfully, I was a few steps from a secluded path. It's nice to have to work to keep at a slower pace.
Did 28 miles this week. I skipped one 6 mile run due to this being my son's birthday week. I say birthday week because we tend to celebrate these events over several days, culminating in a party on the weekend.
My shorter runs this week were 5, 6, and 5 miles at 8:28, 8:49, 8:26 minutes per mile, respectively. Each run felt good.
Next week is the last high mileage week, as I play to run 5-10-5-10-20. After this, it'll be a couple of weeks of taper, then I'll be ready. I feel ready right now.
Starting to get really pumped for the trip to New York in four weeks!

Two weeks to go -- how're you feeling?
