2.99 miles in 22'54"

with the completion of this afternoon's run, i finished off my training for this weekend's 10K. running these three miles also pushed my total mileage for this month up to 100 miles, a personal high mileage mark.

i took off running hard from the beginning of this workout. i made it about two miles before i started fading a bit. i worked that out and was able to pick up the pace a bit toward the end. it was warmer this afternoon than any of the other runs i've done this week. since it's supposed to be around 70 on sunday afternoon, i'm glad i got a "hot" run in beforehand. i'd hate to go from running in the 50s to running in the 70s without a test run.

my plan for the rest of the week includes an easy two or three miles tomorrow just to make sure my legs don't forget what to do and then rest on saturday. my race starts at 3:00 sunday. i don't know if i can do it, but since i've already beat the skinny kid i'm aiming to bury him with a sub-8 average.
