A 22 Mile Test

This morning I ran 22 miles in Secaucus.  I wanted to see if I am in closer shape to finishing under 3 hours in the Miami marathon.

It was a cold, but not too cold day.  But the wind would slow me down.  First 5 mile loop was at 37 minutes and 49 seconds.  Second loop was at 38 minutes and 7 seconds.  The third loop was at 40 minutes flat.  During the 4th loop, I turned on music for 4 miles.  I finished that one at 39 minutes and 34 seconds.  For the final 2.19 miles, I finished at 17 minutes and 3 seconds – AC/DC and Kanye West had me moving fast :)

Total time was 2:52:35 or 7:47 minutes/mile.  I need to finish under 6:52 during the Miami marathon to complete under 3 hours.

It doesn’t look like that will happen.  So we’ll see how close I can get.

It will have to be my hometown Washington DC in March when I hit my target.
