Total: 18 miles in 2:03:26, or 6:51 pace
Details: After a 2-mile warmup in 15:23, did 14 miles in 1:03:19 (6:40 pace), and cooled down with 2 miles in 14:44. The pace for the middle miles ranged from 7:21 to 5:57.
Weekly total: 56 miles @ average of 7:13 pace.
Another confidence-boosting run. Not just the overall pace (right at a 3-hour marathon pace) or some of the fast miles, but the fact that I felt pretty fresh when I started. I guess the fewer miles during this first week of tapering helped me be stronger today. I think today's run was further "proof" that 6:40 is about right for the marathon. I think I can start at 6:40 pace without imploding during the last 6 miles.
BTW, the Speedstars felt good throughout, though I definitely felt the road more than in my Brooks Radius 05.
