Old Standby, chopped version - 5 miles, averaged 8:32

Very late in the day and fairly hot. Two days off probably did my legs some good, but I will need to get them loose for next weekend.

Started late and it was getting warm. Didn't have any energy. Hoping to get some before Sunday's race.

Little south side loop - 4 miles, averaged 8:15

Legs seem to have some more snap to them. Sunday's weather looks fantastic.

Union/Greenbush loop - 5.25 miles, averaged 8:21

1 Stride @ HMGP to just below, then 2 strides at VO2 max pace to 95%. Fast strides felt great. Can't wait to find another 5k, but finding them around here is far and few. 

Rest tomorrow. Pre-race routine run Saturday. Weather for Sunday looks great; much better than the heat in Indiana. Course is flat and I should be able to run with some folks up front (just in the very front) to push my pace a bit. Spent some time on the course before, so I'm thinking:

A+ goal: Break 1:31:30

A goal: Break 1:32:00

A- goal: Break 1:33:00

B Goal: PR Break 1:33:39

Ran from my parents' house down one of the dirt roads off 105 out and back with Megan - 4.25 miles, averaged 8:40

Weather tomorrow looks to be about 60 at the start 66 at the finish. Temp seems to be dropping so it may be a few degrees cooler.  Maine weather is definitely not Indiana weather.
