Today was a great day for a run. It was in the 60s (I think), sunny and just plain gorgeous outside. We ran about 3 miles at a 4:1 ratio and certainly picked up the pace from last week. This week we averaged a 12-13 minute mile ( last week was 14-15 min miles). It felt good...really good and my feet did not go numb. I did loosen up my laces and that must have helped. What a relief. This will be my last run before the first official Saturday morning group training run. I can definitely see myself doing a 4:1 ratio through the training and marathon. I would like to see if I could hack a 5:1 but I'm not going to push that just yet - adding miles is more important at this point than extending my run ratio.
I'd love to write more but I have a huge graduate curriculum unit due to my revision team by tonight and haven't done a whole lot on it. Off to get working on that. Ugh... I enjoy running more than curriculum writing - never thought I'd say that!

It's funny how running can become the lesser evil pretty quickly. However, I don't think I'll ever say that I'd rather be running than sleeping.
