Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
11.74	3.00	14.74

Started with Troy for a warm-up. First mile 8:48. Troy picking it up but breathing hard. I am like slow down. Take it easier on yourself. He doesn't run consistently, but at least he does go out from time to time. We parted at 2.5 miles as I went up to Kim's to do a short TM workout. Total miles there (3.3 @ 8:26). TM warm up at 7.5mph (8 pace) x 1 mile then over 1/2 mile picked up the pace to 7:24, so 1 1/2 mile warmup then 3 miles at 10K pace which I put as 6:45, who really knows. Without resting in between, because this is a tempo workout this is what I did: 1 x 6:49, 1x 6:44, 1x 6:40 picking it up the last .25 of the last mile to 6:22. Ran cooldown on TM first at 8mph (7:30 pace) x 1/2 mile then 7.5mph (8:00 pace) x 2 miles. Ran home the same route I came so another 3.3 miles (7:54 pace). But because Chariots of Fire came on my iPod (I just put it on there last week), I replayed it like 5 times and my pace picked up so I didn't really cool down this last part as much as I like to, so I added on another 1.14 miles at 8:46 pace. Grand total 14.74 miles @ 7:54. PPS I felt fine at that pace on the TM except for a really bad backache that was pulling on my hamstrings. No rest for the weary. Got to work tonight. I am not seeing a taper here. I will have to cold turkey it next week :DDDDD. Night shifts are like still running and running and running. LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT, I SEE IT.

OK, that .74 is bugging me. I'm OCD! Wow Nightingale, that's a lot of miles at killer pace. I seriously don't know how you do it, day after day, night after night, work, run, mom, work, run, mom, no sleep... Did you meet up with Lori H. this morning? 11 days 'till your sub 3:15. WooHoo!

I went to sleep and suddenly woke at 8:45am a sign, I thought to go find Lori like I really wanted to (but was so tired). I got dressed in my running gear and drove to where I thought she would be and drove in both directions for two miles each way. She runs from 9am to 3pm and yesterdays' marathon she ran in 4:20, so maybe she started later. I was really bummed. I read on facebook, late entry she ended at the Fire Dept. in PG. I did not see the van there at 9am, I was looking everywhere. Called the Dept., no one answered, I was getting sooo tired I just gave up and just wished her well in my thoughts. We should see her again at SGM or maybe on our drive to the SGM as she will be running there while I am in the comforts of my vehicle. AMAZING!!!

WoW!!! Thanks for the info on Lori, what an amazing story, I'm excited to track her and hear about how it all goes for her. i don't know if I could do that! Wow!

Nice work-out too girl! You are going to do so well in the marathon, you've persevered through this last bit of training w/ your work schedule, great job!

Julie ~ You tried, made the effort! Too bad you didn't find her. Hope you're having an easy shift and gets some sleep tomorrow morning. What a girl!
