PM - on the treadmill in the afternoon.  1 mile warm up then 4 miles at MRP then 4 miles at 7:30 pace then a mile cool down.  Wore the HR monitor - but was a little concerned that my HR was higher than I need it to be at MRP.  Not sure if the TM is calibrated correctly - as my Garmin foot pod was showing a 5:58 pace - which likewise could have been mis-calibrated.  In any event - I did a very similar workout to this one last year at this time before NYC and was pleased with the effort and how my HR was comfortably low.  So, I am a bit concerned that if my HR is not where it needs to be for my goal pace, I may need to re-calibrate my goal!

PM - lunchtime workout.  1.5 mile warm up and cool down with 4 x 400 at 85 secs and same recovery; and 2 x 200 at 37 with 30 sec recovery.  Mainly did this for some leg turnover.  These were not all out or hard and went fine - but I am still yearning for a run or workout in the last week or so, in which I feel so solid and fit that it confirms I am ready to roll.  May that will happen on raceday.
