Notes

This was a special run, one to remember. A turning point. Maybe the first day you've ever been a runner. Remember this one.

After the first 2-a-day yesterday, including 11.8 in the snow, this was supposed to be an easy - 10:00 pace - recovery run. Instead, it turned into a sub-marathon pace tempo run. 6.5 miles in hard hills. Take away the first easy mile it all under best project marathon pace, faster than half mary PR. But the point is that it was ... easy. Effortless. Even after 26 last weekend. Today could have been a sub-3:30 marathon. You'll do it in December, if you can make this happen on race day.

BQ within 18 months. Easily. Sub-3:00 someday.

Now don't do it again. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Stupidhead.

--------------

The less sunny news: the board horseshit has reached epic levels. Monumental stupidity and painfully funny sensitivity. Just not worth it anymore.
