One last dose of speedwork before the half-marathon on Sunday. Hit the dreadmill at the club for a good hard 8, and ran the last 2 at GMP. Overall average 8:20, and I felt like I could have gone faster; GMP was not any kind of strain. Gives me more confidence going to Fayetteville. Probably 6 tomorrow, and 4 Saturday morning with the Crackheads before we go northwest. Also went over 800 miles for the year tonight. There have been probably three of the five decades of my life that I haven't run 800 miles TOTAL. In March alone, I ran equivalent to the distance from North Little Rock to Arlington, Texas. |
