decent workout. Legs are tired but that is normal. In a few days I'll do a major cut down so that I am fresh and ready to race Sunday. Looks like there will be a couple of fast guys to race with so it should be a good one. I just neet to stay relaxed and in the moment and the time/place will workout on its own.

Thanks for sharing the writeup and training details. Makes a whole lot of sense, and your goals seem completely attainable.

Matt - I really enjoyed the three articles about you (so far - assuming this will keep going?). Thanks for sharing them.

Hoping you knock that marathon out of the park this fall and get a PR in line with your others :-)
