Decided not to run today.  I was sort of feeling depressed and I ate like shit.

6 miles easy then strides, plus running drills (high knees, butt kicks, skips, karioca, etc) some core, light lifting.

Tomorrow I want to do some short and quick work.  Most likely 8-10 x 1:00min with 1 min recoveries then take Friday off and do some easy strides after a warm up on Saturday.

a little sore today from the hard drills yesterday.  I ended up running with the DC Hash House Harriers for a few easy miles and some beer.

I am trying this trick a friend of mine had told me about.  Apparently during your peek week you rest up but do a mini workout the day before your race.  I think the theory is that it puts a sharp edge on your rested muscles to get them ready to race without tiring them out.  Hopefully it will give me that extra pop in my step tomorrow.

My legs feel rested and I felt like I could run a hard 15 miles today no problem so I think my peek is going well.
