I wanted to get a marathon paced "tempo" run in.  At first it was uncomfortable and felt faster than "marathon pace" and of course it is faster than my current ability to run a marathon although I may be able to do it by Boston time.  I ended up going faster than expected and it took concentration to keep the pace not too fast but not too slow.  I wanted to hit 5:55 every mile. turns out I averaged about 5:52.  good enough for now.  I was thinking about how it will feel when I get this tempo up to 10 and 12 miles. ouch!

First couple marathon tempos always feel unsustainable. Once you get a few under your belt, you'll be cruising. It takes the body and mind a little bit of time to adjust.

Thanks Jake! It is a different kind of training than 5K/10K stuff for sure. I'm looking forward to April.
