I ran hard today.  No reason to worry about anything with no more marathons scheduled.  I'm almost back to 100%, which is so different from the slow recovery after previous marathons.  Ran 3.94 miles at an average pace of 8:38/mile.

I'll be running for fitness now, but I'm not swearing off future marathons either.  That elusive 4 hour marathon is still hanging over my head.  For now my focus has to be maintaining fitness and getting ready for Brian's wedding on June 8.

I had great energy from start to finish today, probably because of my lack of running lately.  I probably won't even get in my long run tomorrow.  Nevertheless, I will continue to run and to seek improvement, whether or not another marathon is in my future.

Ran 4.6 miles at an average pace of 8:15/mile (37:57).
