10 miles. 6 miles at normal pace, 4 miles at marathon pace. My legs were more tired at MP than I thought they would be. Hopefully it is just the mileage for the week.

I did 40 of a 50 mile race with Rhett.  My plan never was to run the whole thing because I am marathon training right now, but it was a great time!  Amazing to run on Catalina Island and the views were amazing.  I have to say it was one of the most amazing experiences I have had running.  It was a lot of fun to spend the weekend with Rhett and it was a ton of fun to run with Rhett.

It was a great "race" with Rhett today.  We both wanted to gauge where we were at with training so we entered the second annual Lake Havasu Balloon Festival Half Marathon.  It was a really nice morning, but a little too windy for the balloons to go off.  Overall I felt really good.  I was able to keep almost all of my miles under MP and my legs felt good when I finished.  Rhett and I finished together, but I figured I finished second because if he wanted to leave me in the dust at the end I am sure he could have.  It was a confidence booster for my upcoming marathon where I am going to BQ.

Speed work.  1 mile repeats.  4 miles hard, 4 miles easy.  I am still sick so it took about everything I had to make it through the workout.

Long run.  I usually have Rhett to run with and the time just flies, but I ran alone this time and it was rough...  I only had time to do 18 miles because of a meeting but I could have done much more.  I am still sick, but my legs felt pretty good.
