Ran 5 miles at an easy pace this morning.  Only 4 days until the St. Louis Marathon.  Tapering is going fine and my legs are staying loose.  However, the adrenaline is starting to flow.

St. Louis Marathon....  I went out slow for the first 10k, then gradually picked up the pace to race pace.  I was able to hold this until mile 23 before I started to slow.  This was the plan that I designed prior to the race.  I would normally fade after mile 18, but I ran right through the mile marker, slightly increasing the pace in exhultation!!!!  This was one of my greatest feelings as a marathoner.  The same occurred after mile 20, which could be a brick wall for many runners.  Goal well accomplished!!  I finished in 3:36:26 and I'm very pleased.

Nice easy recovery run from the half marathon yesterday.  I probably should've went no more than 7 because I'm a bit sore.  Still a good workout.
