16 miles on the TM watching the Olympic's Women's Marathon. It actually made the long run on the treadmill manageable. :) Body was definitely tired from yesterday's workout but no pain other than fatigue. :) AP 8:28.

Gym with Rylee and Payton :) :) :) 

8 miles: 1 @ 8:34 then 6 @ 8:00 with 2% incline then 1 @ 8:34

* I didn't think the incline would affect me as much as it did, but it was pretty stinkin' hard. 

ST: Upper body

Yassos today.

2 wu miles, 7 x 800s @ 3:20 with 400 jog between then 1 x 800 @ 3:15, 2.25 cd miles.

So, this article says Yassos is a horrible way to predict a marathon time: http://www.hillrunner.com/articles/article.php/yasso_800s

What is everyone else's experience with Yassos? It seems in the past I have really enjoyed my Yasso workouts, which I generally would start 2-3 months before a marathon and do every other week. Thoughts?

Fun morning.

5K (28:27) with Sophers. That girl is SO much fun to run with. We ran the Sizzler loop. The first two miles were in the high 9s. With one mile to go I said to Sophers, "We only have one mile left ... what pace do you want to run?" She replied, "My pace." I asked, "What pace is that?" She looked at me and said, "Whatever pace I feel like." She then took off. Our last mile clicked in at 7:43. Mind you, she is just a tiny little thing: 10 years old, 4'3" and 57 pounds. That girl is AWESOME!!!!  

Bike: 30 minutes (easy, random L4, ~7.5 miles)

Swim: 1200 meters (nice and easy)

17 miles --- 

16 miles on the JRP (15 miles, AP 7:51, then cool down mile. First 10 miles were with JohnnyV and Josh -- it was wonderful running with them, I don't think I would have run as hard otherwise). Effort felt like half marathon effort (even though it was about the pace I want my marathon pace to be). In short ... I have some work to do between now and SGM.

1 more cool down mile with Sophia and Livvy when I got home. :) 

My legs are pretty tired. I feel like I had some really solid workouts this week. Ready for a couple of easier days now. :) :) :)
