Marathon Training: Day 19 - 42 days to go

All I can say is BRRRRR!!!!! I have gotten so spoiled with the warmer weather that we've been running in. We left this morning it was 35 degrees! We are either really dedicated or really insane or I suppose Insanely Dedicated....lol

Bundled up nice and warm and headed out. It wasn't too awful bad, and would have been half way okay if the stupid wind wasn't blowing...and for that know me, know I hate the wind!...Hence, the reason I don't like running the loop at Wrightsville Beach.

Anyways, out time for the 13 miles wasn't too bad. Our average moving time was a 9:45 pace, but after the car stop, and two stops at the port-o-potty for Scotty....we ended up with a 9:52 pace. We were still within our long run mile pace of somewhere around 10. At this point, I surely don't want to push it too hard in the longer runs and risk hurting something..getting too close now!

M1: 10:06 (hard time getting going)
M2: 9:41
M3: 9:45
M4: 10:28 (potty break and big downtown hill...and I ran it!!!)
M5: 9:37
M6: 10:24 (car)
M7: 10:53 (car)
M8: 9:44
M9: 9:35
M10: 10:40 (bathroom again for Scott....lol)
M11: 9:15
M12: 9:20
M13: 8:55 (yeah me..under 9 minutes)

For some reason my last 3 miles were my best...could it be because I saw the end in sight??
