Easy 4 Mile Run

Just an easy 4 mile run tonight, most of it on soft grass to protect my legs before Saturday's Richmond Marathon. The weather is cooling off nicely and it actually got a bit chilly towards the end of the run. Nothing major to report - I planned on starting off slowly and getting progressively faster, and that's exactly how it went:

First mile 8:06, followed by a 7:23, 7:04 and 7:01 to finish, for an average pace of 7:22 per mile. I'll only run one more time before the marathon (probably Thursday evening), and this will be an easy workout too.

Not sure what to expect on Saturday at the moment. One minute my legs feel great and I'm raring to go, the next I'm thinking about what damage the Marine Corps Marathon did. At least I have a few more days to "recover" and Richmond is really all about having fun and enjoying the occasion.
