On my 2 week taper for the R&R Marathon. This plan still has me running some fast miles but the distances are short. 3 miles @ below 7:00 pace was the goal with 2 miles warm up and 10 minute cool-down. The cool-down was a little long as I decided to just run my loop and do the workout.

I was really pleased with a 2 mile warm up at 8:02 and 131 HR. It felt really easy. The first mile and a half of the three miles was pretty easy but the last mile and a half was a little difficult. I think my legs are still a little tired from the race. My left calf said hello.

Another short but fast Repeat day. I sure haven't done much of this in a long time. The more I did, the faster it felt like my legs would go. One more 10 mile run on Saturday, then it's easy sailing until the marathon next weekend. 55 Degrees, 76% Hunidity, 48 Degree Dew Point.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL ... !!!

Last hard, medium long run before the R&R Marathon next Sunday. I think all parts are good except for my left calf that has had a slight twinge on the last couple of runs. Today was supposed to be 10 at my goal marathon pace but I uped the pace a little...not sure exactly why, but it felt good.

I need to loik back and compare this HR effort with some other similar runs but I think it's pretty good. Next week will tell the tale!
