Half mile warmup 3 x k at MP (or a little faster) Ran this workout at 7 a.m. to get use to running at the start time of the race. Splits were 4:19, 4:14, and 4:07 so close to MP for the first one, then my legs warmed up and I could not slow them back down to 4:20's. I will have to be more careful about this the opening miles on Sunday! 

 Plan is to go for the 3:05, I know training has not been everything that I had hoped for, but it is still my best training block before a marathon so I am going to give it all I got Sunday and go from there!

20 minute run, 8 minute pace nice and easy 7 a.m. again. Less than 48 hours lets do this! 

 

There is tracking if anyone is not doing anything better on Sunday a.m.

Not sure how to start this post.. I was really gunning for the 3:05 BQ time and up until mile 19.5 I was ahead of schedule. Then at mile 20 I realized I needed to run a 42:14 10k to get there, which I could feasibly do so I went for it, then by mile 22 I was back to seven minute pace and still a little behind schedule. I tried one last surge at mile 23 when I had roughly 20 minutes for just over 3 miles but I did not have it in me. When I hit mile 24 I knew for sure I was not going to get it, so I was pretty bummed and slowed down. But then as I finished I realized I  still  set a new PR by over 20 minutes! So a pretty good day, would have been great if I could have hit the BQ. Wonderful day for my wife today she set a new PR by over 8 minutes!!

Last track meet before state. Boys 4x400relay set a school record, without any competition and are ranked first! Kids were laughing at me as I was hobbling around watching everyone. Our two eighth grade boy milers dropped their times into 5:40s so both of them dropped time by over twenty seconds!

Pretty easy today for the most part. Four miles (maybe a little more) of looping around soccer fields and then 16 x 120 yds (or 110 meters) at a fairly good speed. This was my first time since marathon going at or faster than MP so it took a few to really get going.
