Taper the Distance

But not the intensity.  That's my training after the long run leading up to the marathon.  Today I went only four miles, mostly walking as usual, but I ran whenever I felt like it, usually down hills but sometimes up too, just for fun.

The result was a pace of 12:23, more than good enough for today.  I'll try not to go that fast in the early miles of the upcoming marathon.  Steady as she goes.

Two-mile splits:  24:03, 25:29, total 49:32, pace 12:23
