Tic Tac Toe, Three Days In A Row

So needless to say the growing coronavirus epidemic WAY overshadows my marathon training journey, but like they say in the entertainment business, the show must go on. This was an interesting week for me. Most significantly, I ran three consecutive days for the first time in months, and my legs actually felt pretty good afterwards. The last run was the six mile Central Park loop, which was a decent fitness test. I ended up averaging 7:37 pace, which I thought was pretty decent given all of the hills and the fact I made a conscious effort not to push too hard given the prior two days' workouts. Yesterday I did my fast 40-minute tempo run for the week, but decided to stick with 7:13 pace (the same as last week), as I was a bit worried about pushing myself too hard. That pace felt fairly comfortable, and more importantly my legs felt fine afterwards. The only other noteworthy thing is the Shamrock Shuffle was predictably canceled. I am not too broken up about it, as I still need to work on my fitness and the LAST thing I needed was a subpar (by my standards) performance to mess with my confidence...
