I got out this morning for my 12 miler, although I found it to be a little rough towards the end. The last 3-4 miles seemed to have taken forever although I did post a good time of 1 hour and 41 minutes .. (just over an 8:30/mile). I may have gone out too fast, i’m thinking thats the issue, however it has been over a week since I did anything over 8 miles, so that could be it too ..

The goal is to get out and start my speed work again tomorrow morning .. hopefully that will get me going. I’m not sure if my head is in the game here or not as much as I think I do, just dealing with some stuff in my personal life right now .. its amazing how things like that can affect you.

Hopefully we’ll get out of this funk soon, because it won’t be long until the first marathon. I’m hoping that I can get a good 20 miler in this weekend after todays performance.
