18 miles: Endurance not speed

Today I ran 18. It was a nice fall weather day and I felt good. I ran a loop around town. It's clear to me I have the endurance for a marathon, what I don't have is speed. The issue there is a lack of caring. I don't care enough to try to go faster. I'd rather just run and if I happen to get faster so be it.

My next marathon is in about 10 days. I'd might be a little too close to the marathon to be running 18 miles but it was a nice day and I had the time today to run.
