The Last Workout

Tonight was our last official workout. It was another week of pacing. We ran a 1.5 mile course 3 times in a row (no stopping).

1st loop I did in 13:57
2nd loop was 12:43
3rd loop 12:05

We were supposed to run each loop 30 seconds faster than the last one. Over a mile and a half, you don't have to pick up the pace that much to make up 30 seconds. As you can see by my times, I did not really follow those rules.

I stopped for a quick potty break between loop 1 & 2. I was running with my friend Elizabeth, and I tried to make up the time and catch up to her during the 2nd & 3rd loops. I was about 20 seconds behind her at the finish, so I didn't quite catch up. So close!

This run left me very hungry afterwards. It's a good thing we meet at a coffee shop that has little snacks. That scone I ate on the subway is what kept me alive.

Next Tuesday is our final training session before the marathon. We will just be doing an easy 40 minute run.

Saturday is our final long run, and it is only 6 miles. I'll be done so early that I won't know what to do with myself the rest of the day!
