Is that clock right???

Last Saturday I ran the best long run I've ever done. I did 14 miles with 9:17 splits. Now, that's not necessarily that impressive by some standards - it doesn't even qualify me for the Boston - but it's pretty damn good for me! The most amazing part was that the whole run felt great! Start to finish, even though I was running in the morning. Usually it takes me a good 2-3 miles before I really find my groove, especially in the AM. But this time I was 'on' from the minute I got started. It actually felt (dare I say it?) easy! I had a feeling I was running faster than usual but when I finished and saw my time I was floored. I'm not sure what led to such great results but I sure hope it wasn't a fluke. This weekend I'll only be doing 8 miles but then the week after is 16. Only 8 weeks until the race.
