AM: 9.1 miles, 3 of them faster but still slightly slower than marathon pace, but I did give effort.

PM: 8.3 miles total, 3 of them faster.  Workout was 6x800, aiming for right around marathon pace running with John.  My goal was honestly to run 2:48 for each interval and help John put together a good workout, and on intervals 7 & 8 to sprint in anaerobically the last 200m of each.  This felt insanely comfortable, which makes sense as it is basically marathon pace.  400 recoveries at an 8:00/mile pace.

Splits- 2:54, 2:48, 2:48, 2:46, 2:38, 2:36

I feel phenomenal.  My body feels good, my legs feel fast, I want to run more, and am literally excited to get out there.  I tend to always forget how much marathons and/or injuries rip out from your soul.  I am just surprised I feel this good running outside in this garbage weather.  I can only remember feeling this way one year out of my 10 years running- 2017.  That is a great sign.

Dude, running them is easy. Racing them on the other hand... eesh.
