Thought I'd try this interval workout just to see how it goes. Saw it in last month's Runner's World magazine and figured it was appropriate for the last real workout before the race. I ran 2 miles, then ran 800 meters fast (my pace was 6:40/mile), ran 15 minutes slow, then ran 800 meters all-out (pace of 6:07), then back to the house at a cooldown pace to finish out at 6 miles total. It was kind of fun, and different, and I discovered I can't run that fast for much longer than the three minutes or so it takes to run 800 meters.
Tomorrow will be a short easy run, and then on to a few days of rest before the Labor Day race. I'm starting to get pumped up and ready to go. Bring on the hills of Columbia!
