At this point I think it is all mental

Games. Silly mental games. I think I am pretty much physically able to do what I want. I have all the resources I need at my disposal, I just have to harness them when I need them. Today was a good example of that. The other day I wasn't really into running but went anyway. I wasn't mentally ready. Today, I was really ready, I had prepped myself ahead of time and found it easy to deliver on it. I have been noticing lately too that my stride is very comfortable and when I don't run properly, that I can feel the difference and come right back to it. Today I kept it together pretty well over the whole distance. Aside from a couple little things and two small water breaks, everything was awesome. 2:25:47 ~ 28.2km, 5:11 per km.
