20 miles @ marathon pace + 60 seconds
Toughest run to date for me. I had a busy weekend, wasn't able to keep my nutrition in check on the days leading up to this run. I slept poorly 2 nights before. I still made it through but it was tough. I thought about quitting numerous times but kept pushing through. I'm very excited to be done with a whole month of training! Even more excited for the recovery week ahead!

@ Marathon pace + 45 seconds
Great run for me today! I ran 17 and felt better and ran a faster pace then my 15 miler last week! I ran a new course which I think helped my motivation. I also added some inclines, so I'm surprised I ran better and faster! I hate hills! It was rainy and cool so I didn't feel overheated. I did have to watch my footing in some spots because it was muddy. I got a lot of crazy looks from drivers I'm assuming because a.) it was raining b.) I had my fuel belt stocked c.) I was completely soaked and d.) I was smiling!
This week's total: 29 miles
