Mostly easy run on soft surfaces this morning. I pushed just a little the last 5 or so. My main goal was to not work too hard and I feel like I accomplished that and still got a nice run in. Weather was great and I was out as the sun came up which is my favorite time to run.

8.75 miles: With a half marathon this weekend I needed a lighter workout but one that still got me moving pretty good. I did 5 x 3/4 mile w/ 1/4 mile jogs. Splits were 3:55,56,55,55,57. I was in control and didn't have to push too hard but it was still a challenging workout. I would say 10k effort so I got what I was looking for today.

8 miles with a light workout today. Warmed up a few miles then did 4 x 1/2 mile with 1/4  mile jogs. Ran 2:37,2:40,2:39,2:38. It wasn't too hard but I was working a little bit. I pictured just cruising along at 5:20 pace and that wasn't the case. The point was to get one last little bit of turnover without too much stress on the body before the half this weekend. Overall I feel great and I'm ready to race.
