Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
4.00	3.00	7.00

Was thinking I should bail on the two at marathon pace mile race prep until later after my chiro. appt. but then decided leaving my house at the 612am start was as close as I could get to real time, as the race will start at 6am. This is supposed to be a "dress rehearsal". So I wore my arm warmers and gloves--didn't need the gloves after a half mile nor the arm bands after one or so but I kept the bands on anyway. The temp was probably 50 degrees. Ran 3 mile warm up and went straight into my MP miles (I forgot I should do my lateral raises and kick backs to stretch, so I am going to try not to forget that on race day since I doubt I will warm up much on race day). So miles 4 and 5 were 6:51 and 6:41. Both felt very easy, scary. In fact the first mile I had to slow down seeing my pace at 6:35--hence the slower first mile. I tend to ease back too much then gauge off that to go in to my next mile feeling more evenly paced. The first mile however was 1/2 uphill and half flat. The second mile was half downhill and half uphill. Calf is a real bugger. The chiropracter spent 50 minutes on me with electrodes, laser, and ultrasound. Also the lumbar stretch table. My shoulder was out. My right hip was way off, as well as my right knee and ankle. Oh and he did laser to my TMJ joint-- it is so tender. The braces therapy didn't work. Money gone to waste. My jaw constantly clicks and locks. Which causes strain on my jaw muscles then my trapeziuz muscle down my neck. Seriously I was a train wreck. I told him I would dedicate a mile to him in the marathon : D. Last mile of two mile cooldown 7:12. Oops. AP for 7 miles = 7:35.
