Had my father drive me up to the Valley so I could get my final workout in for STG. Goal was to do a 15 mile tempo run at goal marathon pace. This is my favorite run to do of the year and look forward to it every time I put it on the schedule. The run down Monte is Beautiful this time of the year, the colors are awesome!

Anyway I was going to do a 2 mile warm but the first mile was 6:08 and the 2nd was 5:57 so I just included the 2 miles into my tempo and pushed the next 13 miles. 

Here are the splits 6:08; :57; :28; :23; :24; :19; :18; :23; :18; :20; :26; :24; :24; :25; :17

Last years splits- 559; 543; 545; 538; 539; 538; 546; 542; 545; 547; 546; 543; 543; 536.

Way excited about how well today went! Comparing my splits from last year is awesome to see such a huge improvement.

One more hard workout and the rest begins!

Cooled for 5 miles to the Huntsville Park.
