It was 85 degrees this morning for our track workout.  Yuck.

I did about a 2 mile warm up, but not much warming up was needed with the high temps. Then we did 8 x 800m (3:00, 3:00, 2:59, 3:00, 3:00, 3:01, 3:01, 3:00). Jim did his about 7 seconds faster than me.  He is going for his first sub 3 marathon the week before UVM.  I have no doubt that he will make it.  I on the other hand doubt that I will hit sub 3, but hopefully sub 3:05.  Considering my 25 miler on Saturday I was happy with today's effort and I was most happy that my legs were not sore from that run.

WAHOO!! :)

Nice job Rhett. Glad your legs aren't sore.

I've observed in the past that this is when injuries start creeping in for you. Huge mileage on Saturday followed by speed work early in the week. Not trying to nag ya or be negative or anything, just an observation. Be careful!!

Speed(work) kills. lol

Thanks. lol

WOW!!! That is an AWESOME Yasso workout! Your splits are so consistent and right where you want them to be. EXCELLENT work considering you ran 25 miles on Sat. and in 85 degree heat. You are in GREAT SHAPE!!! :) :) :)

If all the stars aligned (or something like that) on the morning of June 9, I won't be surprised if you hit sub 3 at UVM. Stay healthy! :)

Mack, you are so right. I do tend to get injured about right now in my training. I plan on taking it pretty easy the rest of the week.

Dale, good stuff. :)

Smooth, thanks for the vote of confidence. It would take the perfect day to pull off a sub 3 I think. I would be really happy if I can pull of a 3:05.
