felt pretty good today despite the windy and cold weather.  luckily i was able to pick the right clothes and I wasn't too hot or too cold at any point.  

last year i ran this route 3 weeks out from my marathon and it went really well.  This year it is 4 weeks out from my race, but I still wanted to have a good one like last year.  Plus, the last 20+ 2 weeks ago went really badly, and I didn't want a repeat of that one.  

bottom line - it went well and I was able to keep pace or speed up slightly in the last 4 miles, which are really difficult. 

23.75 - 7:16 ave pace. 

so concludes by biggest milage week yet -- not sure how all the miles added up.  Even better, my legs don't feel too bad at all, although I will appreciate the day off tomorrow.

Great run to top off a great week. Very good pace for that long of a run.
