Today was a mid-length run of about 8 miles. It should have been 7, but I added an extra for the Pile/Miles Challenge. Tomorrow is a rest day though, so it evens out.

The Los Angeles Marathon was changed from early March to Memorial Day weekend in May. It has been around the same time every year for the last 23 years and many people train accordingly.
