Starting tomorrow I will begin training for the St Louis Marathon. I've had 18 days off after concluding my Thanksgiving Weekend Race. I felt that the 4 races I ran last season were successful, but that a better training plan will help me improve times. I'm setting qualifying for the Boston Marathon as my goal for St Louis in April. This may be biting off more than I can chew as this is my first ever Marathon, but I ran a 1:30:35 for my first ever 1/2 Marathon in November, so I feel this is a reachable goal. I've spent the last 3 weeks doing cross training and weights in the gym.

34 degrees and sunny at 1:45 pm. 7 mile E-pace run. Relatively flat with a few small hills. Road conditions were poor with snow, slush and ice. Sidewalks were mostly unrunable. Total run time was approximately 58 minutes. Felt about right for over 3 weeks off between seasons.

8.2 miles in 60 minutes. 1 mile warm up, 3 miles at M pace (7:15) 1 mile jogging rest recovery, 2 miles at M pace, 1 mile cool down. M pace felt ok in the beginning but by the end of each run it was feeling closer to a threshold type pace.

Ran a good portion of Grants Trail (flat) adding 1 mile before and after. Not sure the exact mileage, but the time was about 1:35:00. 55 degrees. The last 2-3 miles were tough.
