I like sat. long runs, I had a goal of trying to do marathon pace for the entire run today. Was able to hold a 9:09 pace for the entire run, and had a couple of miles that I felt almost at threshold. I felt good through the whole run which is a little different for me. I did my 8 mile route up around the golf course, so 2 miles gave me a pretty good up hill workout. Wendy road her bike along side, it was fun to have her along, although she got kinda of cold. Pretty windy for a bike ride. Total run time was 1:15:03. Mile splits are as follows.

Mile 1. 9:35 Warm up

2. 9:24 Uphill

3. 9:05 Uphill

4. 9:09 Good rythum going

5. 9:17

6. 8:40

7. 9:35 Recovery

8. 8:38 Still had some fuel in the tank

This has been a great week of training, Added a few more miles and worked a little on my speed. Still have a long ways to go to hold pace for a 4 or sub 4 marathon. See ya next week.

Sounds like a very good week. It is always wise to increase speed work a little at a time. I am trying to do the same and find the increase in body complaints goes up rapidly with increases in speed, hill and tempo work. Great work! That sub 4 marathon will be here before you know it. Base miles are where it all comes from.
