PM - 14 miles for a medium/long run.  Last 5 miles or so were a fast finish.  Did not have the Garmin on, so I don't know if I was at MP (faster or slower).

PM - 10 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime.

Following up on my entry a few days ago about my friend / training partner Richie's online training coach Scott Simmons...One of his athletes - Alisha Williams had a good win at the CIM.

 "Alisha Williams, who was originally going to run the 2012 New York City Marathon, has had five workouts in the last four weeks since the race was cancelled. None them felt good. “My coach [Scott Simmons, of the American Distance Project] just told me not to panic,” Williams says. But she was worried, especially about the last 10K. Instead, she says, she felt awesome. At the 2012 Olympic team trials debutantes Peterson and Williams ran side by side for 24 miles before finishing 16th and 14th, respectively. Williams’ coup de grace at CIM came again over the last two miles. She put 41 seconds on Peterson at the trials; at CIM it was 38 seconds. Williams would claim her first marathon win in 2:34:58. "

AM - workout:  4 x mile at 1/2 marathon pace with 200 meter jog rest; 3 mile warm up and cool down.  Splits were 6:24, 6:27, 6:43 and 6:23  Not sure why the split was slow on #3 as it felt the same as the others (there were two short uphills but not too significant).  Decent workout.

AM - 5 miles very light and easy. Planning to race tomorrow morning. Very foggy and sticky this morning - and warm. Supposed to be the same tomorrow. Oh well - will just race according to the conditions.
