I think you are ready for a 1:45 or below that. Those Tempo runs really indicate that. If its a goal race, I'd taper the week of the race cutting my mileage to about half with a couple of faster short workouts no later than Tuesday/Wednesday for a Saturday race. I messed up my most recent HM, really thought I was in shape to run 1:47-1:48, but this was not a goal race for me, the Marathon in July is.

MAYBE if I had another month or so but thanks!
It WAS a goal race however my accident kind of changed that. I'm still looking to do the best that I can despite the bump in the road of training. And yes my next week looks pretty much like what you suggested, though my race is on Sunday
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
