     Good luck on the 800s! I just was looking up the Yasso 800 marathon prediction theory. It is interesting.

   Started the evening's activities with my sexy 5-month pregnant wife walking 1 mile. Then biked a mile with my oldest daughter (11) who then wanted to run a mile with me. After that, the legs were warmed up so I decided I might as well run my little 3-mile loop.

     Chris this is a tremendous long run. I've been told that long training runs are all about endurance and time on your feet and should be 2 minutes, at least, slower than anticipated race pace. You had a great run. Take the long view and have some fun. Just sayin :-)

     Yep, what Mike said. Your training running should be slower than your race pace. Another good one to do is a "fast finish" where you run the first 14 miles 1 and half minutes or so slower than your race pace and then pick your last 6 miles up to your race pace.

   Closest I've come to throwing up in a while ;-) My goal pace to qualify for Boston is about 7:40/mile. There's no way I could've kept that pace for another 5 miles...much less another 21. Maybe that whole Boston marathon thing is over-rated?! Ha!

   If I had skipped the dessert at dinner I might have skipped the run tonight...but I definitely had some caloric penance to take care of. By the time I finished the 2nd 3-mile loop, though...I was feeling good so I opted for a 4-mile loop the 3rd time around to give me an even 10. Still not close to the pace I need to be at for Fall but I did feel good enough to add another 3 to 6 miles at the same pace, so that's a great improvement over the past month or so.

   Missed the ideal temp for running today by about 3 hours, but it was great to run my campus loop a few times and then added an extra loop down thru the middle of UC by Nippert stadium and all. For some reason, running around all these college students helps me keep my pace up. ;-)

   Hmmm...I could be tempted to return to my days of cycling if this Boston thing doesn't work out! ;-) After all twinges, pains, cramps, and aches of running that last long run...being on the bike was a breeze...literally. Pushed on the last trail mile to see what it would feel like to bust a PR for cycling one flat mile: 2:34...which would be between 23-24mph, right?

    Once I actually laced up and strapped on the hydration pack, the battle was nearly won. The trail was mostly shaded and it turned out to be a beautiful evening for some miles along the Little Miami. Splits: 9:49, 9:10, 9:07, 9:13, 8:51, 8:57, 10:31, 9:17, 8:58, 8:09, 10:18, 9:14, 9:30, & 8:40. You can tell at mile 7 that I took a long walk break to hydrate, pop a couple of thermalites, & down a gu pack. I pushed again at mile 10 & 14. Definitely felt wasted by the end though.
