   2 mile warm up + 5 miles marathon pace (8:20-8:30) + 1 mile sub marathon pace (7:40) + 1 mile cool down. Stomach felt bad at the start but settled during the run. Also, as the sun went down and the temp dropped a few degrees I started to feel a little better. Good run overall.

   The heat is going to kill me. Never felt good on this run. First mile was 10:30, then 10:12. Eventually got it below 10 and kept it between 9:30 - 10 for most of the run but was DEAD at the end. One more long run before Portland.

    12 early miles to Sabine felt alright. Avg pace was 9:48. Miles with group were a little tougher. Average pace was 9:10 (too fast) and the last 3 miles were really hard. I was ready to pass out (and almost did) when I finished. The heat at the end of the run was pretty bad too. Nice to have negative splits on the pace, but it will not be nice if it kills me.

Good run overall. Was hard to breathe and legs were a little sore but I was surprised by my splits. I thought I was going slower. Got in a good stretch after also.

    Easy recovery run in the rain. Didn't make it out this morning but wanted to take advantage of the rain. Easy 3 miles in the Vibrams, mostly easy jog, drills and strides. Legs felt good and form was on. Got a good stretch in after. Ready for a good tempo run tomorrow.

    Felt bad even before the start because of the early miles. Started and stayed on a slow pace early but never improved. Had to walk the last 2 miles because I was feeling light headed, short of breath and my heart rate had skyrocketed.
