Good work this week so far. Intervals at this point are OK to run if you feel inclined as long as they leave you feeling fresh.

Your performance in this workout demonstrates that you have plenty of speed to run a sub-3:00 marathon. We just need to work on the endurance.

Thanks Sasha. All I hope to do is to run a 3:30:59" marathon. To run a sub 3:30', I have to be born again (=:

I am doing my weekly MGP runs on Mondays. Hopefully I can gradually build it up to 12 miles (Next week is 6 miles MGP).

Next Sunday 11/12/06, I am planning to run the Motive Half Marathon at MGP. This time I will not taper since it's a very hilly course and I just run it as a MGP training run.
