Week 13: 5 miles/8 miles/5 miles/18 miles

MONDAY: 5.8 miles: Pace was 11:19.
Tough start to a decent run. Legs felt pretty good considering the 17 miles I ran on Saturday.

TUESDAY: 10.2 miles: Pace was 10:37.
Great run. Tough start, especially the first 2.5 miles.

THURSDAY: 5.9 miles: Pace was 11:06.
Good run. A few twinges here and there.

Definitely thinking on my runs lately that I'll be happy when the taper starts. I'm tired! Find that I'm sleeping more and requiring the additional sleep. My legs are holding up well. A few minor aches and pains here and there but nothing significant and I am feeling very confident that I will complete the marathon in Antwerp in good shape. I'm less worried about the running and more concerned about making sure eating, stretching, jet lag recovery, etc. all works out with the traveling. I'm also starting to get excited about the experience. I'm so focused on the marathon training and the actual marathon on April 20th that I forget that we're actually leaving in less than 4 weeks on Thursday, April 17th.
