Fantastic run today. I ran with the "White Kenyans" again on the marathon course. My times are always so much better when I am running with them. (I say "running with them" but perhaps I should say - "futilely chasing after them.")  

We did the first ten miles at an easy 7:30 pace, slowly accelerating, then hammered it for the last 13. I am really happy that I was able to keep a steady pace around 6:30 min/mile. I stayed +/- 15 seconds of 6:30 until mile 22, when I started an easy cool down for the last mile.

Great run, I ran with my race day flats and they were super. I almost wish today had been race day - I might have had a 3 hour marathon in me today.

Great run today Paul. You need to do what you did yesterday. You can run with us and then if you are feeling good towards the end of the race you can push the pace in to finish. 3 hours will happen for you!

Great run today Paul. We did 23 and it was basically at or faster than marathon pace... so on race day you in man. Just don't get mono between now and then and you'll be ready to join the sub 3 hour club.

Nice running Paul. I'm just a bit jealous of you St. George guys that have the course in your back yard to train on.
