Under a week

Yesterday marked the 1 week to go point.

The hay is in the barn. At this point, I just need to go out and realize the goal.

Friday went on an easy 'nooner with Bobby from work. We headed over the pedestrian bridge north. Nice and easy 45 minute run.

Yesterday went out at noon also. This was the last 'workout' of the mary training. It was supposed to be an 8 miler with 6 miles at race pace. It ended up being 9 with 7 at slightly faster than race pace. It was pretty darn windy too. I split out the pace miles : 6:59, 7:01, 6:57, 6:55, 6:50, 6:52, 6:51.

Now, it's full on taper. 3 easy shake-out runs mixing in at least a couple of miles at pace. 3 days of complete rest. Then race.

Friday: 5.07 miles. 8:02 min/mile pace.
Saturday: rest
Sunday: 9.16 miles. 7:12 min/mile overall pace.
