8 at marathon pace

Today I had 8 miles at marathon pace on my to-do list. I ended up doing 7.65 (Liberty + SH Parks) because I was up a bit late this morning - didn't hear my alarm or something. I was going to take it at a 10:30 pace, but I also wanted my HR to be in the low 140s, so I ended up doing the 7.65 in 1:19:00, which was a 10:20 pace. I know that's faster than I'll do the race, but what the heck. It was a fun workout and I felt pretty good the whole time. Seems weird to have this be my long day for the week. I know I need the rest but I do miss the challenge of the longer distances.

You really need to do nothing now..No More walking until raceday!! ( except maybe a little warm up walk)..

The countdown is on!
