Last little workout this morning with Dave. We discussed interesting topics regarding cross country. It is great to coach and compete against his team. I have a lot of respect for Dave and what he does for the sport and his program. I really try and emulate him. No more mushy stuff and now to the workout. Plan was to do the 10 mile loop with 2x2 miles at marathon pace or faster. 5:29, 5:26 for the first set and then 5:27, 5:23 for the second set. Not bad. Good little push for the last workout before the marathon. 

Now just need to rest up and pray the weather stays cool. It looks like great weather for this weekend. Hope everyone runs well.

Happy with the result today but slightly disappointed a little. Ran with Dave the whole race until mile 21 when the calves tightened up a bit. I really hoped to go with him. He ran a fantastic race and I am very happy for him. "Old man" PR so I will take it. Fastest this old body has moved in almost 6 years. Full report later. Great job to everyone today for an incredible race. It was very fast today. Happy to run with Mike Nelson for a little bit and see him crush his PR, Dave almost running a PR, Ben Vanbeekum finally breaking through with even a potty break (turkey caught me at 24), Mark Madsen gutting it out to get his sub-3:00 hours and Clyde for rocking out a 2:33 even with all those dang bike miles.
