Last Dempsey workout for the season. Brutal workout but got to run again with Danny Mackey.

1600-4:54

1200-3:34

800-2:22

800-2:22

....repeated twice. 2:00 rest between each distance and then 5:00 rest between reps. Hit or beat the times on the first one. But knew doom was imminent. Danny had to drop. That made me feel a little better. Nailed the second mile but the 1200 was a horrendous 10 seconds slow and the next to last 800 was six sands slow. I redeems myself a little bit on the final 800 hitting a slightly less miserable 2:25. My legs have not felt that bad in a while.

Was planning on just running an easy 20 today but I wanted to check in on my fitness and get a better feel for what marathon pace might be in Boston. So ran 10 miles at 5:34 pace. It was a lot harder the first five miles but things got relatively comfortable e back half. Longest single run in over a year. Good to log 20 again.

Longest weekly mileage in over a year.
