Best Marathon Training Run…ever!

For the last few weeks I have had great Sunday runs. While I was here in town, I hooked up with various folks to get about 8 miles in the middle of my 17(ish) mile training runs that were quite a bit faster than I have been doing (6:19-6:24 the first week and 6:20ish to 6:30ish the second week). I went up to visit my uncles last weekend, and wanted to get a good workout in.

My uncles live, appropriately enough, 17 miles apart. Last year, I missed a turn and it wound up being a 28 mile run (which I ran 27 of), but this year I made sure I knew which direction I was going. The fun part comes in with the motivation to run faster; my girlfriend was also doing her long run.
