Ran 6 miles along the gulf coast in Mississippi.  Avg pace was 8:01.  It felt nice running along the water as there was a good breeze, but I ran shortly after having a huge po boy sandwich so I got cramps during the run.

Taking Tuesday off as I will be traveling home most of the day then I will try out Yasso 800s for the first time on Wednesday.

4 easy miles during my lunch break (treadmill, 1.5 incline, 8:00 avg pace).  I skipped the speedwork today as my legs were really sore after being cramped on a plane yesterday.  Will probably give it a go tomorrow as long as I get to bed early tonight.

Speedwork session this morning at the gym on the treadmill (1.0 incline)

1 mile warm up @ 9:20 with strides

9 x .5 miles (3:00) with .25 mile recovery (10 min/mile)

1 x .5 miles (2:44) with .25 mile recovery (10 min/mile)

.25 mile cool down @ 9 min/mile pace

This was another great speedwork session for me and was my attempt at Yasso 800s as a predicter of my marathon pace.  This was a confidence builder for sure, but I find it hard to believe that my marathon pace will be at 3 hours flat given the results of this workout.  It looks like the speed is clearly there, so I now need to work on more stamina.  I have a 20 miler this weekend and one more scheduled a few weeks before the marathon.  I am also thinking that I need to reincorporate some medium-long runs (12-14 miles) mid week.

4 easy miles during lunch (treadmill - 1.0 incline).  Avg pace was 8:14/mile.  My right knee flared up a little bit but felt okay after my cool down/stretching.  I'm taking tomorrow off then 20 miles on Sunday.
