Marathon tune-up

Tuning tuning. We drove down to Bethesda and did our last marathon tune-up on Capital Crescent Trail (a.k.a. the long paved downhill leading to D.C.). I ran 5 miles (28.38, 5.44/mile) slightly faster than my goal pace in Boston will be. Then we had an easy mile added with faster uphill mile (5.28/mile). It was a nice work-out and an excellent reminder of how easy it is to trot to downhill. Weather was crispy and brunch after the run was a pure joy.
