Final Speedwork

Another cold day, although about 18 degrees warmer than yesterday. This was actually my first tempo run with the GPS working again, and most of the time I was below 8 minutes/mile, even dipping into the low 7's at times. Of course I only had to do that for three miles. This makes me think most of my speedwork has been in the 8-8:30 range, so targeting a 4-hour marathon seems realistic at this point.

The mileage ratcheted down to 5 total today, and I'm undecided on whether or not to run my final 4-miler tomorrow, Thursday, or not at all. The idea of running Sunday on very fresh legs is appealing, and the cold outside isn't. But I might have an outbreak of cabin fever that forces me outside one more time. We'll see.
