Ok, week 2 of my 16 week training program for the Philadelphia Marathon has begun! It was already 72 degrees and moderately humid when I headed out the door at 6:30am this morning. I managed 5.15 miles in 51:06 minutes – that's a 9:54 pace and is pretty consistent with my recent easy run paces. My plan for this week is to target between 4.5 and 5.5 miles for my easy runs and then an 8-mile long run on Saturday!

Happy Trails,
John
