45F, N 10 mph.  7:26 AP.  I didn't want to do a full-up long run with the hard effort 2 days ago, so I settled on my favorite 15-mile loop.  A little faster than I intended, but the legs were ready to go today.

I think I am finally ready to start training for a marathon!  Maybe if I called the RD, they could move the race back a month or two?  But then I'd probably have to buy him/her a pony too, and I'm not made of ponies.

52F, 8:24 AP.  Miles are only scaled back a little this week - this will be more like a 9-day taper since my mileage never got too high.

51F, SSE 11 mph.  7:09 AP.  Last hard workout, 10 days out.  I copied the one Jake did before his last marathon, 10K @ MP.  I figured he won the race with that, so I should do no worse than 1st place, right?

5K easy, then 10K in 41:21 (6:40 AP).  Then a 1 mile cool down.

The AP on the 10k was a little skewed as I finished with a 6:21 mile.

The last .2 was uphill, and I ran it hard, then almost puked.  I have never been one to puke even after my hardest efforts, but my daughter got sick (threw up) yesterday so I guess I might be next.  That elementary school is apparently just a giant petri dish for all kind of diseases.  Hopefully it will just come and go; she is already feeling better this morning.

67F, S 20-27 mph.  Got the day off today, so a rare opportunity to run with Danielle, after we dropped the kids off at school!  It was a bit windy though.  At some points I was yelling and she still couldn't hear me over the wind.  At least that's what she said....hmm....
