I am trying to stay in marathon shape just in case I decide I am capable of racing UVM. I am kind of a stubborn runner... Jen joined me for the first 10. 4 mile warmup, 4 mile tempo 6:37, 6:16, 6:12, 6:15, 4 miles steady pace (7:05) 2 mi tempo 6:28, 6:11, 1 mile easy and then another 2 mi tempo 6:30, 6:22, 1 mile cool down to get the 18 miles in. Weird workout I know but it broke things up well and made it go by fast. I was completely toasted at the end which did not really help my confidence. But I've had a lot of hard workouts in the past 7 days. Feet bothered me when going fast but the pain eased with the breaks in between tempos. 18 miles in 2:04.
