Wow, where did this run come from?  I just fell into a groove on this long run and haven't felt this smooth in a long time.  Great afternoon.  24 miles, 6:38 average pace.

a smooth 24 miler at a 6:38 pace. Not many people can say that. Nice work.

Thanks Fritz. Ramping up for Ogden?

Will you get over a hundred in again this week the week before Boston?

Good luck!

Strong work! A smooth 24 at 6:38 pace is a good sign.

Yeah, its a fluke. Good confidence builder though. I've run marathons slower. A few of them. Sometimes you hit the groove. Rob, I won't hit 100, that is my last long run. It's taper from here, with one last tempo at MP Saturday

Coasting into SLC Full then ramping up for Ogden.

I wish I had fluke days like this. Good luck with the taper.
