Club workout: 2 by 3200m. I was supposed to run 10:56-59, with a slight pickup at the end. Some of the people in my group wanted to run faster (10:40) and I thought maybe I would run with them, but they went out too fast. Hit 400m in 79 so just kind of chilled the rest of the way to run 10:48.

Started out slower on the second rep, 5:28 for 1600m, but then closed in 5:18 for the second 1600m and 2:36 for the last 800. 10:46 overall.

CNW workout, hot. 3 miles in 16:23 then 1 min rest, then 1 mile in 5:22. The fast mile was supposed to be in the 5:05-5:10 range, but my legs felt pretty dead from higher than normal mileage Tuesday.

Long run on Mercer Island with a detour to the slough. Logged 102 miles in the last seven days which is a bit risky, knee felt a bit iffy at the end of this one.

Lots of little small pains after a big week. Decided to take it easy.

AM 11.1

Ran part of the course for the Seattle Rock N Roll marathon. The course they originally posted was only 25.2 miles (because competitor group). They finally updated it with a one mile out and back. They managed to find an out and back that goes up and down an 8% grade. Ran a total of about 4 miles on the course from miles 19.5 to 23.5. Essentially no flat ground on this section.

After running down Aurora, I dropped down onto the ship canal trail and did 5 mile at about 6:15-6:20, which is starting to look like a reasonable goal marathon pace, at least on flat.

AM 2.9

PM 15.7 Including a 3 mile tempo in 16:58 and then 6 by 150m strides in 24ish.

Did the warmup quarter in 68.4. Maybe that's why the workout felt harder than it should have done, but this wasn't really a strain.

Splits for tempo 5:41,41,36. Was supposed to be 5:40-42 for my pace group but I usually am a little ahead. Legs felt generally dead during the tempo, but didn't seem to get much worse as I went on and it was never a struggle. Nick D. led for the first 1.75 miles with me right on his shoulder. I took the lead for a little bit and then Sheridan decided he wanted to pick it up the last 600m or so. I just stayed right behind him.

6 by 150 26.7, 26.1, 25.4, 24.8, 24.5, 24.1. The first couple I got caught behind some people. After that I ran behind Nick and Mitch who are super fast so it's ok. I have to say it's encouraging how I can comfortably hold my own in these sprints despite higher mileage and being 5-10 years older than every else (or 14 years older in Nick's case). Maybe the fiddy kick will make a return on Sunday.

Not feeling great heading into this race. Tired from workouts, plus a lot of little niggling pains that had me concerned. Therefore, I was happy with this result, even though I didn't meet my initial goal of sub 27.

Started out running with Chris F., Sheridan and Nick D. Hit the mile in about 5:25, just barely ahead of last year's pace and so I decided to accelerate. I was chasing a small pack of Nick W, Mitch, and Patrick Kvietkus. I briefly made up some ground in the second mile running 5:28 with some climbing. However, the surge proved to be unsustainable for me and I fell back in the 3rd mile (5:34). Sheridan caught up to me here so I accelerated again running 5:17 for mile 4 (maybe a little short) then 5:26 for mile 5.

Attempted to do a long run afterwork. I followed the RNR seattle marathon course along the north side of Lake Union to the Ballard Bridge, then over Queen Anne and up Aurora to Green Lake. I crashed when I got to Green Lake so I ran about the last 5 miles on empty.

Wanted to get in a 5k PR before the marathon (pretty sure I could do it). Plan was to run with Chris for as long as I could, but then John Christian jumped in at the last minute to pace us. I followed him to 2k in about 6:30, then basically just held on for the rest of the race. Came away with an 11 second PR.
