3,2,1 mile intervals.  Kept a sub 6:40 pace for every mile.  Felt better than last week. 

This training program doesn't have much of a taper.  :(

Today's tempo run was a dud, bomb, bust, flop, lemon, debacle, flub, bummer, failure, fiasco, disaster, tragedy, calamity, catastrophe, train wreck, cataclysm...  Well maybe it wasn't all that but it was poor.  My head wasn't in it.  I had no strength and no turn over. I started slow, finished slower, and dogged every mile in between.  I am not sure why I couldn't move.  I really can think of no good reason for it.  I am sure glad it wasn't race day.   

Ave pace- 7:48, about 40 seconds slower than it should have been.   Every split was my slowest of this training cycle. I don't think I'll even record them.  

 On the bright side, this run is done and now behind me, thankfully!

Very slow and ez pace.  OK but tired.  Should have run 6 miles today but forgot to look at my training plan.  I guess I'll make this a short 8 to 10 mile day and call it good.
