So I think yesterday was a little much for a taper. Maybe not....?  I wasn't tired or anything today, but if I want to stay around 50-55 miles this week, I can't do it in 3 days.  Anyway, I ran the golf course loop nice and easy in 54 degree weather this morning.

Intervals today.  Trying to remain sharp for the Eugene Marathon in 10 days.  I started with 4 miles easy around St. Mary's, then 5x1600 with 400m jog between each.  Finished off with 1 mile barefoot in the grass and 1 mile home.

  • Split, Rest:
  • 5:15, 2:04
  • 5:16, 2:00
  • 5:15, 1:58
  • 5:06, 1:59
  • 4:54, DONE!

I'm VERY happy with today's workout.  Not sure if it will always work this way, but I ignored my watch on the quarters on the last 2 repeats and was pleasantly surprised with the results.  I'll have to try this again in the future.

Golf course loop extended a bit and St. Mary's loop made it 9 miles on the dot.  Feeling good.  7:14 average.

I went and helped with the Bridge to Gap 5K/10K this morning.  I figured racing wouldn't help me any and it would be good to volunteer with the race.  They were glad for the help and used me as a timer at the finish line.

When the race finished I ran home with a loop around North HS and Providence Hospital.  I felt great and picked up the pace on mile 11 for a 5:40.  The rest were right around 7:00/mile and the average pace was 6:58 for 13 miles.
