Started my long run at 6am, and it was warm from the beginning. Struggled with stomach issues throughout the run, and think I had to stop 4 times to find a bathroom. But other than that I was able to just relax and somewhat mindlessly run mile after mile. It always feel good to be out. Feeling confident that I can run this marathon close to 3:00 hours. Especially since the race I signed up for is primarily downhill, and this run was at least 8 miles of gradual uphill.
2:38:42 overall time, 7:56 pace.
