April 17 - April 23 Training

Monday: 4 miles (9:17).  Hyde Park in London.
Tuesday: 5 miles (8:55).  Hyde Park in London with some pickups.
Wednesday, 6 miles (8:52).  Today, I met a Strava friend, Rob Hicks, and met him near Buckingham Palace and ran a few miles with him on his way to work in London and then I returned with 3 miles of tempo running with 2@sub 8:30 and 1@8:00.
Thursday: 3 miles (9:56).  Slowing the pace as I get close to Sunday's marathon.
Friday: 3 miles (9:47).  Moved from our Airbnb Apartment near Hyde Park to the St. James area near the finish line.  Easy 3 miles in St. James and Green parks.
Saturday: 2 miles (10:31).  Final taper run.
Sunday: 26.52 miles (9:30).  I ran the London Marathon in 4:11:45.  My goal was to run 5:15 and walk 0:45 and try to run around 3:40 - 3:45.  But this race was so crowded, I could not easily find any lanes to run faster. I will write a more in depth review of the marathon later.

Total miles: 49.5 miles.
