Looked like rain tonight, so I headed for the gym. No sooner had I gotten started than the sky cleared off. Those are the breaks. I felt good and just kept going, starting out at a 6 mph pace and steadily ramping up to 7.1  mph (8:27 pace). I had my headset on and got through an hour and 5 minutes of my audio book. My pace for the whole run was 9:ll.
Despite having the book to listen to, I found myself wondering if there was a nearby marathon I could run in September, sort of as a training run. Crazy, probably, but I think I'll check it out.
