3/12/09 - 12 miles

Tonight was an easy 12 mile run and I was again able to run outside. I felt really good on this run and didn't have any problems (other than the continuing tightness in my right hamstring). I ran the 12 miles in 1:37:29 which is an 8:07 pace and my average heartrate was 165 bpm. The weather is warming up and it won't be long before I will need to switch my runs to the mornings. I'm hopeful that the weather on the day of the marathon will be reasonable but I suppose I should plan to get appropriate clothing in case the temperature is colder.
