PM - on the treadmill - Good workout -2 mile warm up then 10 x 800 meters at 2:50 with equal recovery (Yasso's 800s); then 1 mile cool down - I sometimes do this workout in my marathon build up to check to see where I am.  This was by no means easy - but I was solild in the effort.

AM - easy 4 miles this morning - work/life committments yesterday kept me from running. 

PM - lunchtime - 6 miles around Feathersound and Carillon office park.  Miles 4 and 5 were at 6:25 pace.  Felt crappy.  Plan to do my last 20 miler tomorrow.  Have to travel abroad again beginning on Sunday for 10 days.  India and England.

PM - 20 miles mostly at 7:30 pace -- my Garmin's battery expired at about mile 15 - so up to that point with the exception of the first 3 miles all of the miles were at 7:30 or better.  Last 20 miler I will do before NYC.  Felt pretty good about the run except that I had no water or gatorade (or gels) on this run and the last 4 miles were a bit rough as a result.
