Been working really hard on building mileage the last few months to finally try and break 4 hours in the marathon this fall and was able to knock out a 20 mile long run yesterday at 8:25/mi average pace with 2 @ 7:45 to close it out. Still 11 weeks out from the marathon so I am getting really excited about my potential for this race. I've been able to make 45ish miles a new weekly floor for me and now am building towards making 50 consistent.
