A pretty warm day today. 79 degrees by the time I got out for my run. Felt nice. Did some soft trail running and the standard pavement.

Speed workout today at the Redmond HS track. 6M@ marathon pace followed by a 10-12 minute easy jog then 6x1 minute hard/1 minute light. Then a mile cool down.

Pretty warm again. 70+ degrees. First 4 miles felt fine. Practiced taking water at 1 and 3 and again at 5. Managed to do that very well getting 8 ounces down each time. But Mile 6 I just didn't have it and dropped to a 5:23 mile...five seconds off pace. I just felt tired which is not a good sign. It was a little discouraging but I will reserve judgement until after Saturday's race simulation workout.

Cool and beautiful morning for my penultimate speed workout. Another marathon simulation workout. 5M @ 5:15-5:18 + 1M hard. Hit all five in the 5:13-5:18 range and they all felt really good. Set up water stations and took 6+ ounces at 1,3 and 5. So I'm watering well. The final mile was in 5:00 so that felt nice especially considering the miserable workoute at Redmond HS on Wednesday. Feeling much better about things.

Sunday night I fly to SFO for Monday meetings and then back that night. So I will get one last run along Embarcadero before the race.
