This was definitely the best 18 mi training run I've done. We started off early in the morning (7:30am), I had good company (Joe and Alison), the weather was perfect, and my legs felt great after yesterday's rest. I surprised myself with the last couple of miles as I was about to keep a sub 9 pace after 16 mi! Today's run definitely gave me the confidence that it is possible to run a sub 4 marathon.
What was most impressive today was how Alison decided on yesterday afternoon, "Oh, ok, I'll run 18 mi with you!" Her longest distance before today was 13.1 mi! She kept a very good pace and completed the 18 mi run where I would have probably keeled over and died only having down a half marathon prior. Congrats to you, Awee. I'm stoked for you!
