So three workouts remain before the marathon. Today's was a 3x2k at 5:04-5:06 mile pace which is about 6:22-6:23. 3 mins rest in between. The continued terrible weather combined with several meetings at work necessitated a late afternoon workout which I did at the home track at about 5:45. I got there, started jogging and decided that today was going to be my day off instead of tomorrow. So I got back in my car and was halfway home before I realized that I have no time tomorrow for a workout. So I turned around and ended up doing the workout despite not being too excited about it. I felt pretty sluggish. Fortunately the rain had stopped but the clearing skies and setting sun made things even colder.  

Ended up with 2 6:20s and finished with a 6:19. Pretty happy with the workout.

Finally a warm day. Mid 60s by the time I got to my workout. Ran from my house down the Lake Alice Road. Very steep downhill...not all that fun but beautiful. My son had a baseball game down in Fall City so I decided to do my workout on the new Chief Kanim MS track. THey have had a track for ever but it just got surfaced this year. Workout was a 5+1 with the first 5 at marathon pace (5:30) and the last one in the 5:15 range. Focused on drinking and GUing. Hit or beat all of my times. Felt good, but I question whether or not I can keep that up for 26. .
