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

Neighborhood loop - 6 miles, averaged 7:50. Did some strides.

67 degrees and windy. Not bad, fall, not bad at all.

My plan to go out to win the half this weekend has been foiled by an (at least) 72:30 half marathoner disguising himself as a sub-1:20 hopeful (I did some research on the super secret resource called the internet). I am guessing he can run sub-1:20 with a stress fracture. Full concentration now on a PR (which was one of the goals anyway) and coming in under the course record of 1:17:30 (under 1:17:25 for a PR), regardless of what he runs. Hoping the warmer weather, sun, and wind dries any muddy spot up over the next two days.

Weight is being stupid again.

Kinvara 5 Blue Miles: 6.00

Winning races is fun as I recall. Good luck!

There's a cuckoo clock up for grabs. How can I fail to give it any less than 111%?

Good luck Jason!
