lack thereof

After reviewing my long runs, or lack thereof  I'm actually encouraged with my 6:03 marathon finish Saturday!!  I took the 1st 2 weeks off in January due to an injury.  Here are my longish runs since then;

2/8      11 miles
2/16    21 miles
2/22    11 miles
2/28     8+ miles
3/5       Pandora's marathon
3/27    15 miles
4/2      16.7 miles of pacing (mostly walking) after 10k race

I'm off to my best years running start in over 5 years but it's mostly the 4-7 mile weekly runs that are ramping my mileage up.  If I can focus on getting in some actual long training runs I really feel like I may not be bringing up the rear in the races.  I wonder what I could have done Saturday if I'd gotten in a few long training runs....
