Planned on getting several marathon pace miles on this long run - thought I might do six easy, six at MP and six easy.  Mostly worked out except for mile #7 was a bit slower than planned after making the turn and eating a couple fig newtons.  Got back on it for 8-12 and then a little slower than hoped for final third.  Got the miles in though, so its all good.

Easy run in the neighborhood with last mile about marathon pace.  Calves a bit sore from long run on Sunday.

Chilly trip to the track this morning for 20x200 at 5K pace with 200m jog rest interval.  Two mile warmup in the dark before digging into the 200s.  Nover done this before, so wasn't real sure how to run that many 200s... 5k pace for me right now is likely 6:40ish, so I figured I would start at around 50 seconds each.  Seemed way too slow, so wound up doing most of the first ten at 48 seconds, with right at 80 seconds for the 200m jog.  Felt fine at halfway so dropped the next ten to 47-48 and last couple at 45.  A nice mental workout for me more than anything.  Quite a bit more enjoyable than just running the neighborhood for 7-8 miles.  Pleased that the temps are dropping down again - 80 is way too warm for December.

Couldn't drag out of bed to run this morning, so headed out before dinner.  Really nice run at marathon pace with temps back below 60 again - whew. First mile at 8 flat and the rest at 7:45-7:50 with the 7th at 7:39 feeling quite comfy like I could go a few more at that pace.  Quite pleased after the challenging 18 on Sunday.
