Marathon Training Week 18 of 23

Week eighteen -- the taper has started! Today I ran "only" 10 miles. It was a harder run than I expected. Not sure why that is, although in part it may be because last week I ran 20! Also, if you look at my splits I went out a little fast. I've decided that, although I don't have a specific time goal for the marathon, I would like to keep the first 13 miles at right around 10:00/mile. That will leave me some room in the last half of the race to do some negative splits if I feel like it. We'll see!

Here's the boring stuff:
