Woke to 9 inches of SNOW.  Even the electricity was out for a few hours last night.  Waited for it to come on which was at 7:15 am.  Troy joined me at the gym.  He wasn't happy I was going early but I reminded him the kids are home so we sort of need to be home more.  Got to the gym by 8am and I decided to do 2 by 3 miles with 1 mile rest in between at FANTASY marathon pace.  Not really.  Realistically not going to happen quite yet.  Let's just get to 7:15 AP. : D.  I really think I can get my marathon time down to a 3:05 now that I am ironized.  Just got my last dose IV today.  Feel tons better.  No injuries now that I have oxygen getting to my tissues!!  Here is what I did:  3 mile WU 8:57, 8:30, 8:00  (2 % grade).  Then 3 @ 6:44 at 1 % grade then 1 mile rest at 8:06 pace, then 2 @ 6:44 and 1 @ 6:35 for a stronger finish. 1 mile cooldown @ 7:30 pace. 11 miles total with 8.5 miles at 7:03 AP.    I felt better on the second set so I think I could have done three sets.  Troy was eagerly waiting to depart.  I had to run with his music as my iPod had some issues.  Total 80s baby!!    What a nice guy!!    Now to think about that 5 minute plank.   But must load up on some salmon first to gear up.   Did a 2 minute one right after my run for a refresher and side ones held only for 30 seconds each.

Great job Julie! I like running at fantasy marathon pace...I figure if I can run it for a few miles, eventually I will run it all the way! We can hope..right? :) Nah I got a feeling that 3 hour mark will someday fall for both you and me!
