M - 8: Speed

I had a surprisingly fast run this morning. It was only 3 miles, and with my recent reduced mileage, no matter how hard I tried to rein myself in a bit, I was still rocketing along surprisingly well.

After months of marathon training, fast doesn't mean as fast as I used to run in the heady days of April, but it means faster than my realistic marathon pace, when I wasn't trying to do a pace run (and had no idea how feasible it was to run at that pace I set my sights on months ago after months of slow runs)

8 miles tomorrow, then I'm pretty much done.
