Old Standby, classic version - 5.1 miles, averaged 7:57 w/ 4-5 strides

Hit the last .10 at 5k pace (with a quick traffic dodge onto the sidewalk), but I got up to 4:50 and it felt fairly controlled. With all the aerobic running my form has gotten a bit sloppy. More strides needed and an occasional, very short interval session as the marathon buildup progresses.

I always feel better after some strides too, but can't seem to remember that while running. Nice running lately, coming up on the taper pretty soon, I'm guessing.

Saturday morning I'll go for about a 2 hour long run with just a few faster miles if I feel like it (if not that's okay too). After that I'll start to really taper off a bit. I've already cut back on miles this week, but I think I'll still be just over 60 and I only did 1 day of doubles. After Saturday, it will be time to ease up, slow down, reduce mileage, and hope I don't get too fat in the next two weeks!
