Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
4.00	6.00	0.00	0.00	10.00

Used treadmill at gym and did 6 x 1mile repeats (6 minute pace) + warm-up and cool-down. Jogged .25 miles between repeats...10 mile total.

Started the work-out with the intention of mixing in a couple of mile repeats. Felt good, so kept doing them. Might affect my 10-mile race on Saturday, but I've decided to just treat the race as an extended tempo run. My overall goal is improvement for Boston, so the work-out's more important than pr's.

Kory, thanks. It's a challenge staying motivated in this type of weather. The blog continues to be a helpful tool for me...noticed you're having to take a break from running. I'll keep you in my prayers. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.
