Tonight I ran 9 miles. It was quite a good run, far better than my 8 mile last week. I averaged 16:03 per mile, I had enough stamina to sprint a bit through the last mile. More important than that, I had enough energy to keep going. I hope that my future runs all go so well. There's only one more long run, a 10 miler before the big race. Pounds mean so little when compared to that.
