Total Distance
10.00

Another tempo on the treadmill. This time a little faster than goal MP. 6:58 for the first 7 then for each of the next five minutes I went 1mph faster and ended at 6:31 pace. Overall total running was about 66 minutes and got around 9.5 miles. Cool down to get to ten. The weather is finally looking like it will clear up after Tuesday of this week so hopefully this is last treadmill run for a long time! 

13 days away, thinking that I may not have done enough during the training.

Finally... Looks like spring is trying to show up! Being able to throw that tempo down (on a treadmill) at that pace says a lot about your fitness. What are your goals for the marathon?

Going into this marathon my main goal was BQ. So anywhere under 3:05 I will be happy. But I was also secretly hoping to train well enough to break 3. As of right now, I think the plan is pray for good weather and just see what happens race morning!

Sounds like a great plan! Good luck with your goals, too. You've definitely been getting in some quality miles through this buildup. I'm getting pretty antsy to see how you do!

Looks like you have your own heartbreak hill to contend with in Lincoln.

Never being to Boston I'm not sure if its really heartbreak.... But it is a big hill for Nebraska!
