Congratulations to Bret Jardine who ran the London Marathon this morning. He is FRB's newest sub-3 hour marathoner!

PM: 7 miles easy, averaged 8:32. Legs were a bit sore, but not demolished. Probably should have hit the cool down sooner yesterday rather than standing around talking and waiting for results, but it probably didn't matter.

Final big workout sometime this weekend, depending on non-running stuff and recovery this week. It's something like 24 miles with 10 around 7:20-7:30 or slightly faster with a half marathon MGP tempo (6:38ish pace) at the end with a mile or so cool down. 90-95 miles for the week. Last week of the semester. Nice planning, Jason.

I had to reread this. I read it as "won" the London Marathon. :)

Jason Thanks for the shout out-- Just now had a chance to see it.

Sounds like all of your training has gone very well.

With a 1:21 half - you'll clearly have no problem dropping a huge PR in the marathon well below sub 3.

It was great to see you hit your goal. I missed tracking you because I got up late, but I saw the news on Rob's blog and immediately check the website. Great stuff.

I'm getting excited about the marathon. Well, after tomorrow's workout I will be really excited. I've worked hard, but things have continued to click, too, which I am thankful for.
