Key Workouts:

Track: goal 12*400 at 1:25 with 80 second rests followed by 1600 at what I felt I could hold.

Had to run this one solo because my track buddy was tapering for the marathon. Workout went great and while I had to work towards the end it never felt out of control.

Thursday Tempo:

Goal was 5 miles at 6:30 pace. Another solo run but knew it would be fine since the pace was a little easier and only 5 miles. Did this on the 10k course to get a feel for which miles would be harder/faster etc.
