Epic fail.  Was supposed to be 6 X 3/4 mile at 5k pace.  I got through 3 and the pace was getting progressively slower so I gave up and just finished the miles at a general aerobic pace.  Can't explain what happened.  Just an awful run.  I think I have gotten to the point where I am losing my speed.  I am fine at certain paces but anything faster than 1/2 marathon pace is a real struggle. I think I will just coast into Boston and not worry about the lack of speed.

No worries! You've got speed! You are training for a marathon not a 5K which by the way you're great at when you raced them! It will all come together! You are at the height of the training cycle doing an awesome job and consistently improving! Trust your training! :)

I can definitely relate to this feeling Andy. Honestly right now anything faster than MP feels like a struggle to me. I wouldn't let it get you down too much. Sometimes the extra mileage will do this I think.
