--Fell a little short of mileage goal but workouts felt great for once.

Unfortunately, work got in the way of my training last week and I wasn't able to run at all from Monday to Friday.

Saturday: I ran a PR in a 5k 18:09

Sunday: 21 miles at slightly slower that marathon pace.

I am not real positive about my chances for sub 3 in January as I haven't been able to get in as much running during the week the past month as I hoped. One good thing is that I have been getting my long runs in having done 19 or more miles on each of the last six sundays.
