On the home stretch

I can't believe the marathon is less than a month away.  In fact, it's about 2.5 weeks away!  Yikes!  It's been a wonderful training adventure though.  And right now, I'm on the down swing for miles... which is really nice.  No more dauntingly big long runs... except for the actual race ;)  Today I was able to run outside and I only had to do 3 miles... so Gaetan took the kids to the library and I got to run on the trails.  I ended up doing 3.5 miles at a sub 8 minute mile pace! Holy cow!  I haven't run that fast since high school cross country... I was pretty impressed with myself.  I felt really good at the end too (despite the big hill) so I'm telling myself that I could've gone longer :).

It feels good to see the progress and all the hardwork paying off.  Here is to a few more miles before the big day!
