AM- 72/67% - odd for here, temps went up 13 degrees, but humidity has not been that low in the morning since May. Decent to run in :) Things started off well enough but upset stomach kept my- on my toes?- for the first bit. It eventually settled down after 7 miles, at least enough to run some intervals. 

10 Miles warm up (ahem, base run, what is that these days? I seem to vary from 8 to 9:30 lol), then 6x800 with 400 recoveries. 3:19, 3:17, 3:18 (hills), 3:18 (hills), 3:17, 3:16 + cool down.

Nice and consistent despite the hills, great run. I never know what to call the ol' 10-mile "warm up" either.

Nice workout! Not easy to do fast running at the end of 10 mile run. Do you do that to tire out the legs so speedwork simulates end of a marathon?

Great weather!

Thanks Joe- the hills were not killer, but when you're tired it can feel that way. Ham- Thanks, and yes that's the idea. I used it last year and my body seemed to respond. This past Sat was a little more of a good example too- but you got the idea, teach the legs to run fast when tired. I got the idea from tinman's training.

Burt! yes it was :)

WOW, liking that speedwork. You hit some great times in spite of the hills. The rest of us wimps do that stuff on the treadmill or track!

15 yesterday! YOu are getting in such great shape! I am turning into a couch potato! Please send some yummy recipes for me. I guess I will have some motivation to run in a month if I put on 10 pounds!
