9 miles at 7:08 per mile, two at speed.

Mile 1 5:27

Mile 2 5:18

last mile at 6:45

Nothing too crazy just taking it easy for next weeks race. I was happy with 5:18. That's my fastest mile of the year.  I felt like I could have gone faster.

12 easy miles this morning.  Didn't time myself.  The last few felt like 630's, not sure. 

HOT today!!!

10 miles today.  3 mile warm up at 7:08 per mile followed by 3 miles @ tempo.  I averaged 6:00 per mile for the 3 miles.  Backed off on the tempo distance.  I'm trying to conserve right now.  The tempo was just long enough to get me mouth wet and to get an idea of where I'm at. 

3 cool down miles at 7:08.  Last mile at 6:58.

I felt pretty good.  I think I'm where I need to be for next week race.  I just need to stay away from the junk food now and try not to eat like I'm running 14 miles a day.

12 miles. Nothing too crazy and long the Saturday before the race. Some pretty good speed the last few miles.

26 miles less this week then last week. I hope that actually helps me instead of hurting my overall fitness. My goal is to arrive rested and in top condition.

I hate ramping down as much as the next guy or gal, but I think it really works. I've done both and I get better results by resting a bit.

I guess we'll see.
