    good Shower 2.4 mi 00:20 08:20 pace

    Quickie to get my legs moving. I needed this on a whole host of levels: my left calf was bothering me enough last night that I was worried I'd have to bag tomorrow's race. Some stretching... read more

    alright Yet Another Half Hour. 3.52 mi 00:30 08:31 pace

    This was akin to running in an armpit. Hard to believe the weather is calling for showers and 53 for a high on Sunday.

    alright Mere mortal today. 3.65 mi 00:30 08:12 pace

    As productive as I was yesterday, today's morning has been a bit of a shitshow. I'm calling it the yin to yesterday's yang.

      You are getting it all out now... this means you will be FRESH on race day Sunday. You have worked so hard so this is just part of the training plan. Stay confident and remember... it will be worth it in the end =)

    great Yoga warm up 3.4 mi 00:28 08:05 pace

    Just a half hour before bikram yoga today. Aimed at tempo pace since I'm doing a long run tomorrow. Felt okay, hard cardio-wise but legs were okay. Mostly. :)

      You know, just when you think you have things figured out, everything changes... Right? I've felt that way with runs also, and I'm not sure there is an answer! I just am thankful when it feels great and I enjoy my runs, rather than dragging lead legs. Nice job negotiating a bit longer run and having a great one! Looking forward to hearing how you do at the RTR!

    So decided with baseball and whatnot this morning to move my long run to tomorrow and do a tempo run today. Plan was for 1 mile w/u, 1 mile c/d, and then 3 at my tempo pace - 7:45 - 8:00ish.

      That's a huge improvement in a short time Karen ... not surprising given how hard and smartly you have trained. Nice to have a steady friend like Jen to warm up with - and nicer still to follow it up with a killer race. That sub-23 is just around the corner I suspect ... like next fall (unless you sneak another 5-K in before then).
