Went to track with my fam. J and I walked 1/2 mile and ran 1/2 mile with stroller. They left and I ran home, 3 miles. My legs felt like cement blocks. No energy today. Yeesh

Easy run. 3.54 miles in 29:02. 8:12 AP.

Legs felt OK. Race on Sunday. Definitely not ready for it. Wondering how to play it. 2 options:

1-Train through it. Still do my normal long runs on the weekend. Give it my best shot. Goal pace around 6:45/mile for a goal time of 20:55.

2. Make it a progression run. Run a few easy miles in the morning, then hit 7:00, 6:45, 6:30 for something around 20:54.

Last year, in better shape, I hit 6:26 AP for a 19:56. I doubt I could hit that this year. I dunno, I'm gonna have to wait and see. And run. I should really run every day.

Easy run. 5.4 miles in 50:05. 9:17 AP.

Ran after dinner and the boys' bedtimes. Legs felt OK, belly felt ok. My pace felt steady the whole way, but I hit 8:58, 8:58, 9:34, 9:02, 9:20, so it actually varied a bit. I'll try to do a tempo run tonight as one final workout before the race on Sunday.

Easy run. 5.1 miles in 48:27. 9:30 AP.
Went out after eating way too much for lunch. Stayed up too late. Legs felt heavy. Lungs seemed like they worked too hard. Super slow pace. And it snowed an inch last night. Blech.

Race tomorrow. I think I'll go out for an early run, maybe 3 miles. Then another mile when I get there before the race. Hopefully I can get a cooldown in or at least run the mile home. That would put me at around 8 miles for the day. Still don't know if I wanna set a 6:30 pace from the get-go or start at 7:00 and keep dropping it down from there.
