AM - 10.25 Clyde's. With Clyde for thirst time in a month or so - good to have the old guy around. Thoroughly exhausted this morning, but still got up. (Stratus grey 1072.35)

afternoon - 20 River Tail - Tempo. Started off with a 30 minute tempo with the team. Mike and I hit 5:37, which was where I wanted to start and right in his range. Unfortunately my watch battery was dead and I had to keep bugging him for pace info. I jogged back toward the girls and Travis let me borrow his watch to finish up my workout - which was an extended version of the one I did Saturday (instead of 20/15/10/5 minutes of tempo, I was going 30/20/10/5. The workout went well. Sometimes I thought I was pushing too hard because the watch was set for pace and seemed to be reading pretty fast (during a tempo like this I like to have it set for lap pace and let it run the whole set for an average). So anyway it kept fooling me and throwing me off a bit, but I was very happy to have something to go by. Then other times I felt great and felt I could move along for hours at the pace - I guess that is the eventual goal. 20 minute set was in 5:30 ave. Then after a mile recover, 10 minute was at 5:22 ave. I felt pretty tired and didn't want to "go to the well" so to speak, and thought about just calling it. But then I convinced myself that a mile wouldn't do too much harm. S I got going for the 5 minute set. The watch was reading 4:45 and I knew I wasn't going that quick. It took about half of the time to get the legs to get into a flow and then I felt good. Finished strong (but not too strong) with a 5:02. Cooled back to school. Happy the workout is over - maybe the hardest I've ever done for marathon prep. Distances covered were something like (but just kind of from memory) 30-5.4, 20-3.5, 10-1.8, 5:02 mile (those might not add up right, but are just kind of numbers that come to my mind. (Rocket 604.5)

I thought I had a good 22 mile run yesterday, until I read this! Solid work Dave!

Huge workout Dave. This has gotta build a lot of confidence for the marathon, eh?

Give yourself a couple easy days now... let your body soak this in.
