10 miles with Scott. Drizzly weather but only 52 degrees. Great day for a run.  I had a lot of beer and queso and chips last night so it was a close call towards the end. I will have to really watch my diet more closely when I get into heavy training.  Averaged 6:58 pace

8 miles before work.  Warm and wet (50s) not too bad. Averaged 6:58 pace. Abs and push-ups.

8 miles easy.  Averaged 6:58.  Pushups, core, standard routine.  Still warm.  Good for running.

2 mile WU

Marathon pace run: 5:51, 5:56, 5:53, 5:50, 5:55 

1 mile CD. 

Today was the first day for me to attempt marathon pace.  It felt strange and a little labored at first since I haven't run any faster than 6:30 pace for more than a mile for three+ weeks. I couldn't quite nail the 5:55-6:00 target range I was aiming for so I ended up going a bit quicker.  I think this will definitely level out once I get into the 8-12 mile range for these workouts.

All in all I think I'm training at the right pace but we will find out how I can do with longer mileage and more workouts in the same week.

well this run did not go as planned. I ran with Lavar and his friend Thomas. The plan was 1 mile WU then 8 miles at 6:25-6:35 pace then 1 CD mile for 10.  It went like this:

7:18, 7:01, 6:38, 6:36, 6:25, 6:13, 6:10, 6:07, 6:11, 6:19, 6:46

It turned out to be a bit longer and I was way too fast in there and I tried to go slower but I felt so good I just kept clicking the miles off. I felt great and I did get 9 miles in 6:22 average range so mission accomplished.  I'm sure this will get closer to goal range as the length of the long runs and mileage weeks intensify.
