AM - 7.1 miles. Ran the first 4 miles easy, then did 11 x 30 seconds @ 5K pace with 60-90 seconds between efforts. I was shooting for ~8 reps, but completely lost count of how many I'd done about halfway through. It was too early in the day for math. The first "big" marathon (other than the OT) of the year was today (or yesterday, or whatever day it is over there) in Dubai. Four guys you've probably never heard of ran 2:04. Yowzers. I liked this quote from Letsrun, about the winner: "From 39km to 42km, the guy ran an 8:29 split. That's 9:03 3,200 pace. Think about that for a minute." PM - 3 miles shakeout. Headed to the Brad Paisley concert now. Offer still stands - if anyone wants to head up to Alta for some snow fun tomorrow afternoon (~1:30PM), let me know.
