| 40F, 7:05 AP. No running the last couple days, because I suck.
Today was going to be just 20 easy, but I was feeling peppy from all my laziness and sloth so when I hit the turnaround, I picked it up to MP. It started feeling bad just before 5 miles in, so I told myself I could stop if I could just make it to 8. And so I pushed, made it, and cooled down the last 2.
10 easy/medium - 7:21 AP
8 @ MP - 6:38 AP
2 cooldown, ~7:30 pace.
Consdiering I've been averaging 40-something miles/week over the last 10 months, with no long runs, and wearing mushy kinvaras, this was ok. With only 8 or 9 good weeks of training until Boston, hopefully I can cram in some more distance work like this. Right now, I'm probably barely in sub-3 shape. Having just run a 1:22, I know I have the speed for sub 2:55, but I haven't been much of a marathoner this past 10 months. Might be too little too late, even if I can get in everything I want. Time will tell.

| AM: 34F, 8 @ 8:08 AP. Dropped a sub-8 on the last mile, no big deal.
PM: got caught up at work and snuck downstairs for 4 easy on the TM this afternoon. Surprising number of people in there for 2:30pm, so I didn't feel too truant.

| 33F, 7:47 AP. Decided on one more easy day since the 20 w/8 hit me harder than I'd planned. Tomorrow I'll retry the workout fail from a week ago.

| 35F. Set out to do 8 x 800m @ 10k, 200m active recoveries. For 10k pace, I targeted 2:58-3:00. Ended up doing 7 of the reps, averaging 2:58.6, (2:57, 3:00, 2:58, 2:57, 2:58, 3:00, 2:59) so right in the sweet spot. Wasn't feeling too great; I could have emptied the tank and done #8, but that's not the point...the effort was good today. The days of being on my A-game for every workout are probably over for the next 8 weeks...time to suffer a bit more!
