14 Miles

My marathon training plan called for a long run of 14 miles today, which is the longest distance I've ever completed to date. I finished in 2 hours, 19 minutes and 52 seconds. That works out to about an average pace of 10-minutes per mile. Although I wrote in my very first post on this blog that my goal is simply to finish the marathon, I have a secondary goal to finish in under 4-1/2 hours. I would be even more pleased if I could average a 10-minute mile pace for the whole marathon, which would put me finishing in 4 hours and 22 minutes. But there's still lots of training left to do and lots of miles left to run.
