12 miler
Just got back from my first tweleve mile run in years and I feel remarkably good. Time was a frankly shocking 1:44:18, so I did that in sub nine minute miles. Maybe a four hour marathon isn’t out of the question. The run itself was through rock creek park, down around most of the mall…

1:30:18
YES! Just got back from my long run, and it was ten miles in 1:30:18 without stopping the watch for lights. I’m so stoked. I know for most runners, a nine minute mile pace isn’t a big deal but for me, coming off an injury and on a run this long, it felt amazing. Seriously…
