Thoughts: Quite the blustery morning. I kept the pace slow because of my tender Achilles. At this point I'm pretty much going to be running 11-12 minute miles to make sure I can get the distance in during the week without injuring myself. I've resigned to the fact that this is just my first marathon and I shouldn't be worried about my pace at all. Near the end of my run I was surprised by a fireball shooting across the sky. It was slow and bluish-white and turned to green as it approached the horizon. It lasted at least two seconds. I submitted it to the American Meteor Society's Fireball Sightings site, the second time I have done so.

Day 149

Weather: Clear and Cool
Time/Distance/Pace: 1:32:25 - 8 miles - 11:33

Thoughts: I had to set my alarm clock to 3:30am in order to wake for this one. I kept my pace pretty slow because my previous run had finished only 8 hours earlier. Unfortunately, by the end of the run my left Achilles had started bothering me again. Hopefully, it can recover before my long run like last week.
