59F, overcast. 7:44 AP. Enjoyable 17 this morning. I had a self-imposed 7:40 floor to keep the effort easy since I tend to get carried away on long runs, so the last 10 miles or so were all right on 7:40, give or take a second. The one exception was a 7:29, when I was daydreaming about my next race.
My new thing on long runs is that they will either be easy, or long MP tempos - this is what Pfitz suggests. I think it will help me from going through these cycles where I am running well, then push too hard, then break down and need recovery weeks. So we'll see how long I stick with that... | |

| 76F. 8:38 AP, a nice trot around the neighborhood as it was getting dark. I'd planned to take a rest day today but it didn't feel like I needed rest so I ran (obviously not much). I like the flexibility of not being tied to a daily plan. Hopefully when the shoe is on the other foot and I need an unscheduled rest day, I will let myself take it. | |

| 68F, S 16-25 mph. 8:01/mile avg. I think we have one more warm morning (tomorrow) and then it's cool weather from here on out. In other possibly related news, my tempo run just moved from tomorrow to Friday. |

44F, NNW 10 mph. Workout was 8 easy, followed by 5 tempo, aiming for 6:35-6:40 on the fast miles.
8 easy avg 7:51/mile
5 tempo avg 6:36/mile (6:38, 6:37, 6:36, 6:37, 6:34)
Overall AP for 13 was 7:22.
Meh, I did the paces I was shooting for (a little faster than HM goal pace) but it was a lot of work. I did finish with some gas in the tank so I would recover faster, but my goal pace in 8 days is 6:43. I'd honestly be a little surprised if I can pull that off. I'm hoping that I owe some of the toughness of this workout to the fact that it's coming at the end of a pretty high-mileage week for me. I will be doing a 2-day taper for the Abilene half so I'll be a little more rested, but it will probably be warmer. We'll see, I think I'll need a lot of race day magic to break 1:28. | |
