AM - easy 8.0 miles recovery run.  Had some stomach issues yesterday and was still feeling them this morning, but had a nice relaxing run quite early before the sun was up this morning.

AM - took an early and long lunch to cover 14.0 miles on the treadmill at about 7:25 pace.  Felt very relaxed and comfortable at that pace.

Early AM - 8 x 800 at 2:55 w/ 90 second rest.  Did these with Richie at the park / lake in Carillon at 6 am.  4.0 miles of warm up and cool down.  Felt like I was working as hard as I could with this short rest.  Good confidence builder workout.  Richie ran part of a few with me, having gone to the Rays game last night, he was a bit groggy and perhaps still had a few drinks in him!

AM - easy 3.0 mile recovery run before work.  Busy days this week including today.

PM - 7.0 miles easy to moderate with last 2 miles at mrp.  Long day at work, stress reliever type run.  Impromptu last 2 miles at mrp just because I felt like pushing it a little bit.  Core / strength work afterwards.

AM - before work at the gym - treadmill run with "hills" - sort of a fartlek workout.  2 mile warm up at 7:30 pace and then 4 miles of off and on increased grades up to 3% for 3 mins on and a couple of mins off to get a sense of rolling hills for the race next month.  2 mile cool down.  Nice weather coming in for the weekend - will plan to do my last long run outside on Sunday - 3 weeks out.  Felt a little tired today perhaps from the core work last night.  Starting a pre-taper to stay ahead of fatigue after this week.

AM - easy 6.0 mile recovery run.  Very pleasant weather this morning.  Probably the first time since the spring that I needed to wear a shirt to run.
