Where Does the time go?

The weekend of the 26th I ran 10.2 miles (7:32/mi.) and 10.0 miles (8:05/mi.)
Lately, with cutting the grass and working in the garden on Sunday, my legs are dead on Monday so I took Monday off.
I was tired this week so after running 6.0 miles (8:04.7/mi.) I took Wednesday off too.
Thursday I ran 7.2 miles (8:06.1/mi.) Off on Friday;-)
Saturday I ran the John & Jessie Kelly 46th New London road race. I came in 88th in 1:27:26.3 a 7:32/mi. pace for 11.6 miles. It was about 13 seconds faster than last year so I was happy:-)
I don't usually run far on Sunday but I felt great so I went 10.5 miles in 1:26:00 (7.2 mph) at a pace of 8:11.4/mi.
Monday I took it easy, 4.1 miles at a pace of 8:10.7.mi.
Today I felt really good and went 7.1 miles (7.5 mph) at a pace of 7:58.3/mi.
After the race on Saturday I felt like I could still run a pace of 7:30 for a marathon. I hope to run Hartford in the 3:30's and Houston in 3:20 something. Hey right after that I turn 57 so if I don't do it now...
