Workout was 2x2M in 10:05 with 4 minutes rest. I was pretty sacred of this workout going in.

Turns out everything went fine. Perfect evening for a workout.

1st rep was in 9:58

2nd was in 9:57.

Super even splits. The only bad part is i only had time today for a total of 10 miles. Haven't run only 10 miles in a while.

I managed to miss the rain this morning which is always a welcome thing. The workout was a 9+1 at slightly faster than marathon pace...5:20 being the target. First five miles were all in the 5:15 range...too fast and a bit disappointing since the workout is not about how fast i can go but how fast I should go. It's a pacing exercise. The next four miles we at 5:20 with the "extra" mile coming in at 5:16. Good workout. Starting to get excited about the marathon. Four weeks to go.
