Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
6.00	0.00	0.00	0.00	6.00

Stepped it up to an Easy Run today (from a Recovery Run). 5 miles at 8:05/mi pace average. Felt like crap this morning w/ congestion and just overall blah feeling. Too much sleep?

Run helped get some of the garbage in my lungs out. Lingering smoke from burns up the street didn't help matters. Ice on the roads made it tricky keeping footing in spots, so pace a bit off in some areas.

8x100m Striders w/ 100m rest in :19, :20, :19, :18, :19, :18, :19, :19.

Striders a bit slower than normal. A couple of segments over icy streets, but also took it a bit easier w/ marathon in 2 days.

All the best for Sunday Dale, you've got the worst bit nearly out of the way, the taper. How are you planning to pace the marathon? Hope the weather conditions stay favourable.

Good luck Saturday Dale, maybe I'll find you on the course with Aaron. If not, I'll be looking forward to the blog recap.

Thanks guys.

Ian....I think my plan will be to start slow the first couple of miles and let any crowds thin. I'll be happy there with anything 8:30/mi and faster. From there, I'm planning to keep the flats between 7:10-7:15, the downhills at a similar effort level (however fast that turns into), and the uphills I plan to take easy, at least those on the first 2/3 of the course. The hilly part is the back 1/3 from what I understand, and I don't need to be running out of gas on those, so I'm really going to try not to overextend myself early.

Of course, I *always* say that, so we shall see.

David...If all goes according to plan, Aaron and I should still be running strong when you plan to jump in and pace at 19, so I'll see you there!
