Cooler on Sunday as forecast, a beautiful day for running actually, and I NAILED my 14 miles at marathon pace (plus warm up and cool down) - four more miles at pace than I did in training last year. I needed the confidence builder! Also I did over 55 miles last week which is a new high for me. I'll stay at this level another week or two and then start stepping the mileage down. Feeling good.

Hot again tomorrow, but hopefully not as hot as last Wednesday, and since the workout is two-mile intervals at 10K pace, I'm pretty sure I can handle it this time. We'll see.
