Notes
rough one today but I feel pretty good about it over all. This was kind of my self test to decide if I think I can do the marathon or not. The marathon limit is 15 minute mile pace, so I figured if I could finish the 17 miles today in less than 14:30 or less that would be my sign that I can do it.
the way back was more walking than running and at mile 15 I totally hit the wall and walked almost the entire last 2 miles, and still finished with a 14:00 average pace
Also, 17 miles is a new lifetime distance for me, so I have to feel good about that, too.
