Tuesday 10.0 miles/1:28:10/8:49 average pace
I was supposed to run 5 x 600 meters (total of 3000 meters) with 90 seconds recovery. But without the use of a track, I just did 4 1/2 mile repeats (for a total of about 3200 meters) and let myself do 1/4 mile recoveries since the intervals were a bit longer. Based on the recent interval workouts, my goal for the 1/2 mile repeats was about 3:30 (7:00 pace)
3.75 miles warm up 34:09 (9:06 average pace)
Interval I 3:26 (6:52 pace).... recovery 2:19 (9:16 pace)
Interval II 3:33 (7:06 pace).... recovery 2:41 (10:44 pace)
Interval III 3:31 (7:02 pace).... recovery 2:56 (11:44 pace)
Interval IV 3:29 (6:58 pace).... recovery 2:27 (9:48 pace)
3.25 miles cool down 29:35 (9:06 average pace)
I'm really glad I got this done, I was not looking forward to it. I'm just not really feelin it this week. Hmmph. Oh well, I guess it's best to conserve my enthusiasm till closer to the race. :)

Saw your blog from reading Chelle's in NYC. I would say you went as hard as you would want to with an interval workout during your taper for the marathon. I haven't read all the way through your blog. Is this your first marathon? Any goals?
Later...
awesome job on those intervals, right on pace.
Thanks Michele!
Chad, thanks for the input. :) This will actually be my third marathon. My goal is the boston qualifing time, 3:40. My previous marathon times were 3:55 (Nike Marathon in San Francisco Oct. '05) and 3:45 (Avenue of the Giants last May).
