North side - 9 miles, averaged 7:52. Started some strides but the wind got the best of me. Feeling pretty good.

Goal for tomorrow is to try to run 101%-105% of goal marathon pace. So 6:10-5:57, which is basically fast end of aerobic into the top of half marathon pace. Probably wear my Garmin so I can dial back the pace as neccessary and monitor it a bit. Anyone who has done a race/workout knows how hard it is to slow down!

Late: 35 minutes of rolling and stretching + hips and glutes

Should be able to savor the splits a bit more, I hope.

Have fun tomorrow Jason. Hopefully first place isn't running 5:50. That'd make it really hard to slow down. ;) Good luck, and have a good workout!

Thanks, Matt. 6:15 pace in a race situation for the first mile is going to feel like slow motion (at least I hope).
