Solid workout! Legs are feeling fresh which is a good sign. Stomach wasnt so hot this morning still. I could feel some lingering effects from Saturday but managed to get through the workout just fine. One more hard workout on Thursday this week then the mini taper begins for UVM.

Legs are feeling great and the stomach actually is coming back around. Crazy little bug that I had, glad it was 2 weeks out instead of the week of.

Fartleks

Met at Lee's Market with Jonny Boy and headed out to do one of our last workouts before UVM.

Workout we did today was the same workout that I did with Riley and Dave before STG 2X3 mile fartlek style. 

Goal was to hit the first half mile around 6 min pace and then the next half around 5 min pace for 3 miles. Rest was 6 minutes, then back into it for 3 more miles.

Splits-

First set- 2:58; 2:30; 2:55; 2:31; 2:53; 2:28

6 min rest

Second set- 2:59; 2:32; 3:03; 2:31; 3:05; 2:31

Workout felt great! Better then last time I did this workout. Feeling ready to roll with this marathon! Workouts have been solid for last month and I feel like I am coming into this reace better prepared then STG in the fall

Enjoyed a sleep in day and hit the TM while Grady was napping. 

Legs are feeling suprisingly good. Starting to feel like some bounce is coming back! Next week is going to be a great one for sure!
