Big boy run this morning. Really the last big tempo run before the marathon. I really wanted it to be the best out of all of them. 3 mile warm up and then jumped into the 8 mile tempo run. Here are the splits: 5:41, 5:43, 5:27, 5:29, 5:31, 5:25, 5:33, 5:33. 5:33/mile overall. Very happy with this workout. Got a little gnarly on mile 4 when we had to stop due to a skunk on the trail with its tail sticking straight up. It is a miracle none of us have been sprayed yet. Hopefully it doesn't happen anytime soon. Very encouraged with this workout.
3 more miles with the team this morning before school started.
