Day 21 – 2012 United States Olympic Marathon Trials Journey

US Olympic Trials Marathon Qualifying Standard – 2:19:00 or under
My goal – 2:18:59 or under
Current PR – 2:30:03
Current Weeks Mileage Goal – 70 miles
Next Race – Palatine Turkey Trot 5 mile race in Palatine, Illinois @ Harper College on Thursday, November 25, 2010

Sunday, November 21, 2010 - 6 mile run @ 6:20 pace with drills afterwards.  Got this run in at 3:00 pm today.  It's overcast here in Chicago, but warm, about 60 degrees.  Anytime you can run in Chicago in late November in shorts and a t-shirt it is a great thing.  Just a beautiful warm day, an ideal day to run fast and I did.  Combining my new Nike Kantara's and the warm weather gave me the extra bounce in my step to run fast.  I was going a consistent 6:00-5:50 pace on this 6 mile run.  Got my second set of drills in for the week and a good stretch.  70 miles for the week is complete.  Now time for an Epsom salt bath to loosen up my muscles and aid my body's recovery.
