the spinx half was successful in that i did not push the pace and just ran it as a tempo run. of course i was slightly disappointed that i didn't pr still, but it felt good to have ran a semi-hard effort and still feel energized afterwards. the 16 the day after went well. i wasn't sore and i never slowed down significantly although i felt my legs and feet getting tired.

now i'm one month out from atlanta and starting to feel the tiniest bit of confidence that i can run my 8min/mile average goal. here's hoping the next few weeks go well.
