Left at 6:45 this morning. I had the wind in my face for about 11 of the 22 miles. I sure did enjoy when the wind was at my back. The positive side to the wind coming against me was that it helped me keep a slower pace (which I needed to do), so that was a benefit.
I ran the 22 in 4:04:57 at a very comfortable, slow pace. It's very encouraging to have things come together like I have planned them. I'll go out on a limb and predict that I run this marathon on May 6 in: 4:22:00.
It's time to taper and have a 15-miler for next Saturday. I'm looking forward to the 2-3 days of carbo-loading and rest. I'm getting excited for the marathon!
Insight of the day: I don't have one, today. It was a nice, pleasant run. Void of much thought and full of prayer. I love praying when I run.

...the only limbs you're going out on are the ones attached to your running shoes...sleep well tonight my friend.
4:22? Let's just round down to 4:15. As Rob Schneider says, "You can do it!"
Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys.
You sir, are animal. Driving 22 miles would wear me out. Running would be just plain silly. Keep it up.
