AM - Mid-Week Long Run

This was a repeat of last wednesdays run... 8 miles at marathon goal pace and 5 miles easy. We started again in Diamond Vly and ran to Worthen Park(finish line). I stayed with Heath and John to see if I could hold their pace. I was surprised that I could keep up and felt like I could over take them at any time. I think they were surprised to see me and I pushed the pace on the up-hills in which I got groans from the guys. :) We ran the first 8 miles at a 6:56 average pace, and the last 4.7 miles at a 7:28 average. We were suppose to run the last 5 at an easy pace, but that felt easy!

Splits: 7:21, 6:51, 6:48, 6:47, 7:04, 7:05, 6:46, 6:43, 7:28, 7:32, 7:27, 7:14, 7:33 (hills & Rollers)

Hey Ben, I'm surprised I've never come across your blog in the past 2 years. It looks like we are chasing similar goals... Good luck with your last few weeks of training. Go easy this weekend with the RRR.

Hey Kam... Good to meet you! You look like you are going for a sub-3 marathon? Are you running St George this year? My goal was a sub-3 at StGM, but ironman messed up my pacing... so my goal is closer to a 3:10 this year.

I'm doing TOU, 3:08 +/- 2 minutes is my goal. It seems prudent to save the sub-3:00 effort for SGM--if I ever get in. Your ironman effort is impressive.
