Gearing up for a dec 27th half marathon that will represent my last effort at breaking 1:20 for the year, dont know if i can muster it up, but im sure going to try. Will hop in a turkey day trot 5k, but using it as this weekends speed workout. Splits today:

2- 7:19.0

3- 7:09.9 (21:39, 7:13)

10 miles today. Weather was pretty good except for the wind made it cold at times. Pretty easy paced accept for the last mile when i kicked in a pretty decent pace and ended up running that last mile at the high end of my goal marathon pace. Splits:

1- 7:04.1

2- 7:27.0 (14:31, 7:15 pace)

3- 7:21.0

4- 7:10.5

5- 7:12.2 (36:14, 7:15 pace)

6- 7:08.0

7- 7:22.8

8- 7:38.6 (58:24, 7:18 pace)

9- 7:40.5

10- 6:49.0

TOTAL-- 1:12:53 (7:17 pace)

Overall, a pretty evenly split run again, at least through the first 7 miles. I did feel a little sluggish late in todays run and it shows in my latter mile splits. I felt good enough to close pretty well the last mile though.

Today was 4 easy miles in 30:52, 7:43 pace. The legs were kinda sore today, and the cold and strong winds didnt help. Gonna hop in a turkey trot 5k tomorrow as a speed workout.

Hopped in the local turkey trot today. Was gonna do speedwork today anyway, so i figured a race was as good as that. 120 other people showed up so it was a good turnout. It is always a low-key event, but there is always some fast outta towners that show up to win it. Started out and it was quickly just two high schoolers and I. I let them lead it for around 7 minutes, the miles werent marked and the course isnt certified so everything was by time. I surged up a huge hill and passed them both and left them behind. I accelerated through the last 10 minutes and won by 28 seconds with a 17:30, 5:38  average pace, well faster than I've ever ran this course before. Not sure any of my mile splits, but it felt even if not negative, and it felt really easy too, which was a nice bonus given I didnt do any sort of taper and just used it as a workout. It was very cold and windy too, so to win in a pretty decent time in those conditions was nice. I guess today I became that outta towner haha. I have run this race 3 times now, and have finished 3rd, 4th, and now 1st. Will definitely do it again next year because of the small town/laid-back atmosphere.

Logged an easy 8 today in 1:00:28, 7:33.5 pace. I am super sore from playing football with my family yesterday, so I was definitely sluggish on the run. Will get in an easy run tomorrow then long on sunday.
