Another tempo on the treadmill. This time a little faster than goal MP. 6:58 for the first 7 then for each of the next five minutes I went 1mph faster and ended at 6:31 pace. Overall total running was about 66 minutes and got around 9.5 miles. Cool down to get to ten. The weather is finally looking like it will clear up after Tuesday of this week so hopefully this is last treadmill run for a long time! 

13 days away, thinking that I may not have done enough during the training.

About 2 miles with the track team today, even tried to hang with the sprinters (ran back to back 32 200's).

Got home and did two 5k's. One with the wife to help her get a sense of her MP, we went a little fast but we are hoping thats ok (24:43 or 7:57 pace), (she is going for a PR of breaking 3:57:something or 9:02 pace) 

 I then did a little over a 5k and tried to see what pace running comfortably hard led to tonight. Ran 20:21 and final mileage was 3.16 or 6:26 pace. I am very glad that it was a good chunk below goal MP! Eleven Days and getting excited!

13 with the wife today and she looked great! Big time confidence boost! I threw in 13 2 minute surges at MP or faster to make sure I remember what I am shooting for, only worry is stomach issues for race. (Also showers are now in forecast for Race Day.)
