I went 10 miles easy and finished with 2 1-mile repeats in 5:58 and 5:55. With my cold, I've had a pretty unstrategic taper, so we'll see how things turn out. But I'm confident I won't end up injured like I did after my first (and only) marathon. And I feel that I have a decent base from which I can build for next year and beyond. I'd like to go out with the 3:10 group for the first half, and then be ready to move up after the first half. I would be more aggresive, but with my cold and previous IT band scare, I've not quite had the training I would have liked to go much faster. Next year, though, I think I'll be shooting for the 2:30-2:45 range.
