PM - 16.0 miles on the treadmill mostly at 7:15 pace.  Felt very good today - was holding back and would love to feel this comfortable on race day.  Still a little achy but I don't think I am getting sick.

AM - 6 mile recovery run with 6 striders followed by core/strength work.  Change of plans this morning - was going to do a track workout but my quads had some deep soreness in them.  Will delay the hard workout until tomorrow.

AM - 2 mile warm up then 2 x 2 miles @ 6:15 pace; 2 min recovery; then 1 mile @ MRP (6:50) then 1 mile cool down.  Was a bit tired near the end of each of the two mile intervals - had to really focus to get them done - but was rewarded with feeling great on the 1 mile at MRP.  Good confidence boost workout.

AM - 6 miles total.  2 mile warm up and 2 mile cool down.  3 x 800 @ sub 2:55 with 1 min rest was the plan - did 2:47, 2:50 and 2:50.  So hit a little faster than the target, but had solid turnover and pressed the heartrate - but did not have a huge quantity workload today.

AM - 4.0 easy recovery miles at no faster than 7:50 pace.  Good shake out run - slightly fatigued - but no real soreness or heaviness.  Got 8 hours of sleep - (which is unusual for me - generally 5-6 hours).
