AM - 11.5 miles. Workout at Liberty Park: 6 x 1 Mile. Averaged 4:54 (fastest was 4:52 and slowest was 4:57). This was a tough one to start before 6am! For these next two weeks the focus is primarily on some faster workouts to sharpen up for Long Beach, then we'll move back to the marathon-paced stuff.

PM - 7.3 miles, ran home from work. I looked up the last time I did mile repeats in my log (before joining this blog)... it was one of my first workouts of the year, just before the SLC Winter 15K. That day I did 4 x Mile in 5:30. So... there's been some improvement over the past 6 months!

Maybe one of these days I'll run a sub-5 min mile!

Nice work out. Do you guys do these on wood chip trail? I feel like I'm moving in slow motion on the trail.

Thanks Mark. We do the workouts on the paved path. It would be impossible (for me) to run that fast in the dark on the wood chip trail. Plus there is a 100% chance I would rip my ankle apart. I save the wood chips for shuffling slowly on the cooldown :-)

Wow! Can't wait to see what you can do at sea level.

Glad to hear I have room for improvement. That is quite impressive Jake!

Yeah your killing it right now. Keep the ball rolling man. Just stay healthy and get to Philly in the shape your in right now... and race day will be magic!

Rachelle - absolutely! The keys are to be patient, be consistent, and believe in yourself!

Clyde - Thanks man. I am feeling really good right now. The 1/2 in 2 weeks should be a good indicator, but I definitely think I am already at a higher level than I was at UVM. I really can't wait to lace 'em up for another 26.2!

Jake - You've made a huge improvement! Way to go!
