Ran 2.9 miles this morning.  Started out really easy then picked it up towards the end just to get a tiny bit of speed in.  Felt good.  AP was 9:57.  Will probably do another 2 to 3 miles with my girls this morning.  They're doing the progressive marathon this weekend so have a 5K to do on Sunday.  Today is their last miles to put in to have reached 23.1 miles prior to race day.  Tomorrow is a looooooooooooong car ride from Tucson to San Francisco!
