Up to meet Jenny and run some miles with her during her long run.   I thought we would meet up around mile 2 but it ended up being 3.5.   We ran the rest together and the legs were very fatigued.   I had a hard time getting going and the slow miles were tougher than they should have been.   There will be time on the foam roller tonight.

I met Tim, Ashley and Wendy for what I thought would be MP mile repeats.   I was excited to hear about SG, but we really didn't chat much - that will be tomorrow during the easy run.    We warmed up on the trail for 2 miles and then did 5 x 1 mile repeats.   They were targeting 7:20 - 7:30 and I told them I was going to hang back and run MP....never happened and I ended up with the following:  7:45 felt better than I thought but faster than MP; 7:27 too fast, but still feeling okay; 7:32 legs were tired during this repeat and had to run under the viaducts and I always feel like I am going to trip; 7:29 back under the viaduct and trying to stay mentally strong; 7:28 hanging on and so glad it was the last one. Cool down for 2 miles that were slow and tired. 

Avg pace: 8:21

Six easy miles with Wendy.  We did the normal route through Tanglewood, Colonial and to the Woodshed and back.   Wendy rolled her ankle on an acorn right about mile 5, forcing us to slow down and cut the run short by 2 miles.   I am not overly comfortable running by myself there, so I called it a day.

Met the group at the store for my last "long" run.   Everyone is at different points in their training cycles, so we started together and then quickly split up.  Wendy and I did 10 together and she headed out to add on 4 more.   The effort was harder than normal due to wind on the way out and then easy on the way back.  Ended up with an avg pace of 8:28 and thinking "I'm done, I have plenty left in the tank."  Hopefully, that is a good sign for next weekend.
