great Myrtle Beach Marathon Pace Run 18 mi 02:06 06:59 pace

I got out early to try to beat the heat. Unfortunately it was 78 degrees with high humidity and dewpoint. at 5:15 AM. Joe B. ran the first 5 miles with me before I cranked up the MP miles. My goal today was just to give a good effort and not do any damage. After a summer of running in the heat I have learned alot and today's 6:30 pace was just a number not necessarily my goal for today's run. I ran more by feel and here are the results: 6:29, 6:33, 6:31, 6:36, 6:33, 6:30, 6:36, 6:43, 6:37, 6:38, 6:39, 6:31. 12 miles 1:18:56 (6:35 pace)

I am very happy with the results and feel like this was one of my strongest runs of the training cycle. Another high mileage month is coming to a close. Looks like July will be a 330+ mile month. With a little over 2 months until the Wineglass marathon I am feeling good with my training. Have a great weekend and stay cool out there.

Time to go to the Beach and work on my tan!
