I was talking with one of my running buddies the other week, one with whom I frequently run, and we had a discussion over my next marathon. Currently I'm planning to do a marathon up in Eureka, CA called the Avenue of The Giants marathon. However in talking with my friend he suggested that I should run San Diego as it is a better course to run. I'm currently running really well and he thought it might be better for me to run San Diego so I don't squander any opportunity to run a kick ass marathon. I mentioned earlier how I had an awesome 19 mile run, which we did in 2:20.

My current goal for this next marathon is to run a 7:00 min/mile pace. However, now that I have more time to train I might just aim for a straight up 3:00:00 marathon pace, which is about 6:53 min/mile. I think it's doable because I did a 9 mile pace run on Saturday that felt relatively easy. I should be able to increase my speed and endurance just a bit more so I can reach that goal. San Diego here I come!
