55F.  18 @ 6:46 AP.  The goal with this one was to get in a longer aerobic effort.  It's too late for 30-milers and such so I figured I'd give the aerobic engine one last toke on the fitness pipe (that made no sense).  But this was really good.  I ran the same hilly roads as last weekend, but ~45 sec/mile faster.

Splits:  7:32, 7:00, 7:04, 6:53, 7:02, 6:45, 6:40, 6:55, 6:45, 7:00, 6:53, 6:48, 6:43, 6:53, 6:41, 6:22, 6:16, 5:43.

Hammered the last 3.  That last mile to my house is downhill, but to do be able to that at the end of this run almost makes no sense.  Maybe I'll be ok.

Holy freaking cow. Your only problem now is you have no idea what speed to run it.

Just don't do any sub 6s until you are past mile 40.

Nice toke.

If I have a good race, I'll write a book called Run Less, Run Ultras - the 6-Week Taper System.

Really fast 18 is greater than or equal to a slow 30. That's just simple math. Very strong run, Joe.

Wow...not much more to say!
