It was a nice interval run 49 minutes feels real easy now, two years ago i would have laughed at you if you told me I was going to run a marathon lol. Tomorrow will be a short run only two hours should get in 12 miles or so. More to follow.

No not my age thats how many days left till I run lol. Tonight was a good run another interval night increasing speed then slow the increase you get the idea. It feels good to just push hard. I know I need to keep my pace for the long distance and can not bonk out. I was going to wear my fuel belt durring the marathon now im not sure. I know there will be water every 2 miles so should i carry or just refuel? i think I will carry water just incase there not there. LOL.
