Happy Halloween!!! It was my final interval workout before the big marathon on Sunday and I'm really disappointed it did not go as planned. I got to work early and was planning to get in 6.0 miles of half-mile intervals (the fast halves being at 11.2 mph while the slow halves being at a speed of 9.2 mph) on the treadmill. However, after 4 miles (in a time of 23:56), I became ill and just could not push through it. I decided to cool down for a half mile and call it a day. Not good, but hopefully I'll have a better workout tomorrow.

For my non-running workout, I was able to complete just 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 30 second plank and side planks

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge: another serving of oatmeal

Thanks for the race info...I be watching! Sorry you had a rough run Monday but you know these last couple of runs arn't going to do that much for you before the BIG race. You're in shape and ready to run whatever you do this last week :-)
