Notes
Ran two miles by myself and then 14 more with Ted before starting the faster stuff. I must have had the old man shuffle going on because I only ran 8:43 for the first mile and it felt fast but I loosened up and we worked down to the 7:15 range and averaged 7:30 for the first 16. Took about a five minute break and then did 6 miles at marathonish effort in 5:42, 5:41, 5:40, 5:40, 5:44 and 5:39 while Ted did two more. The faster running was really hard mentally in the middle but once I did four, I knew I could get it done. I really need to learn how to deal with the "marathon pain" but hopefully the workouts will help out with that. Highest mileage week in several years.
