PM: 9.2 miles in 67:30 on the treadmill.

Had enough of the rain unloading trucks with the hi-lo today, so I went to the gym with Megan. Started a workout but pulled it. I'll try again Saturday and likely double tomorrow. Felt good once I just ran moderately. The treadmill is always so hit or miss for me.

AM/Lunch: 10 miles. Cold, windy, and raining. Nice day for ducks and earthworms

PM: 5 miles easy on the treadmill. Some core work after.

Got some decent miles in today. I need to do this more on days off if I want to run the mileage I think I need to run.

PM: 14.5 miles, averaged 7:33

8-mile tempo @ 6:27 pace

Splits: 6:32, 6:27, 6:30, 6:25, 6:29, 6:26, 6:29, 6:16

4.8 up/1.7 down

Warmed up a few miles with Megan and started the workout. I started a bit too slow, but I tried to go from 9:30-10:00 pace down to 6:30, which is always hard. Called that a mulligan mile (6:56) and continued into the 8-mile tempo from there. Felt pretty strong. A bit tired at the end, but effort was normal for this workout (I've done it enough times). A solid week and pleased.

I am pretty sure I am running the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon rather than Detroit this fall.
