And then there were no real speed workouts left. Today called for 8 miles with 3 x 1600m at 5K pace (6:15). After a 2 mile warm up, I started the repeats. They were a little tougher than they should have been, but I know that's because I ran harder than I should have yesterday and didn't get nearly enough sleep last night, not wanting to get up. Still I got all three done and then finished up with a couple cool down miles.

    Thanks, Nicki! Would love to catch up while we're up there. It looks like we'll be hitting the expo early to mid afternoon on Saturday.

    I haven't finalized my plans for the weekend but sounds like a plan.

    Nice run! If I can give any incite on this....I love the saying the hay is in the barn. Savor these next couple days. You have put so much hard work into this training. Enjoy it! You have earned it. I hope you sleep better tonight! Have a great day!

    Totally agree, Tammie! The hay's definitely in the barn. This last speed workout was more about reminding my legs that they can't slack off. Yeah, mile repeats aren't easy, but only 3 of them is a lot easier than the 7 miles @ half-marathon to 15K pace lactate threshold runs of several weeks ago. Those sucked! :-)

    This one seemed tough for me as well when I did it too Mark. 5K pace just never feels good!

    Yeah, you're right Aaron. I killed the 5 mile "race" on Sunday, and that was only :12/mi slower. Just something about 5K pace that isn't fun.
