Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
0.75	3.10	3.85

1040am run (another warm weather simulation)--Brief warm up of 3 minutes before running my 5K route I mapped around my neighborhood a year ago. Short run for I had some appointments to get to. First mile I was thinking I sure hope this is faster than race pace (it was) cause while it felt fine I didn't think it could feel fine for 26.2 miles. It is a hilly course so that made me more hopeful of my ability, but only time will tell. Here goes: mile 1: 7:08 Last 2.1 miles: 14:30 (I don't remember where mile marker two is so I did a cumulative). Total 5k time= 21:38. With some figuring that meant my last two miles were at 6:54 pace. Wow. The 800s have paid off. This time was faster than my Nestle 5K in June which is an easier course so I feel good about my effort. My heart was skipping beats at the end probably due to sugary pancake syrup just before the run. I like to run with not much in me for that reason. Effort felt strong/hard but not all out. So someday maybe I will do under a 21 minute 5K. Maybe racing it will help my pace. I am glad it is over. Quick workout. Brief cool down of 0.4 miles. Now time to bask in laziness (and in ice on the darn left sciatic nerve), except for a 10 miler on Saturday (I am going to go a lot slower than last Saturday) and a short tempo run next week and maybe 2x800 meters somewhere in there. It should feel good to be over quick with speed workouts and cut the mileage way down. Good luck to all my running blogging friends!!!

Sounds like you had a great workout today! I'm a little jealous and feeling a little lazy about my zero running miles as of late. But, oh well, it's my only choice right now. Be really careful these last few days! I think you will have a great marathon, even with the few set backs you've had! :o)

Great 5k time! A race might make the difference for an under 31. Enjoy the laziness :)
