Great morning for a run.  Cool, clear although a little humid.  Its taper time for me so we ran 10 easy, and then picked it for the last 4 miles, with the last one very hard.

Good confidence boosting run.  Warm up then 8 x 800s.  Most of them were around 3:05, with the 7th 3:00, and then last one 2:55.  Felt in control the whole time.  Its almost race time.  

 I'm not sure if I am more excited about the race or being done for a while ;o)

Felt good today.  Did 3 easy, then 4 at MGP, then 3 easy.  Didn't do the MGP at the end as there were less traffic lights etc in the middle section of m run.  Its now super taper time!

Needed today's run after yesterday's humiliation.  (My dog got sick so I got hardly any sleep, and decided it would be a fools errand to run a marathon on an hours sleep.  Probably a wise choice, but still pretty gutted).  Today was an easy run with Mark...this is normally a Wednesday run, but he's out of town the rest of the week.

 With regard to yesterday, it will take some time to get over.  However, I am still going to take a break from hard training for the next few months so that I can hopefully come back faster and stronger in the fall.

Reignition run today.

 Short warm up then 4 miles at/around MGP, then last mile at sub 7 minute pace.  Felt better than expected after very little mileage for 2 weeks.
