Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
6.34	0.00	6.34

Begged Troy, not really, to run an easy 6 with me. We ran a nice loop that included a long uphill, nice and easy. First mile 9:10. Last mile 8:00. Average pace for 6.34 @ 8:50 pace. Still feel very exhausted. Went to Mel's chiropracter. Saw him last year same week. He really worked the hip with ultrasound and some vibrating machine, stretched the psaos muscle etc... then adjusted me. Supposed to go back on Wednesday. Came home relaxed at first then drained. Tried to take a nap. Lasted briefly, 30 minutes. The countdown begins. I plan on running a "25.2 miler" this Saturday. Anything I can do to get to the 25.2 mile marker (maybe I will just say the 25 mile marker) to see the clock at 2:59:59. Of course all goals go out the window if rainstorms and pelting winds are involved. Or lack of personal drive after mile 20. My plan is to have that drive. Clock is ticking.....

Yes, you have that DRIVE! Now's the time to shore up the energy, the adrenaline, REST. I think I'll run some 400s tomorrow to wake up the dead legs, how about you?

no rain or wind in the forecast :)

i know you have the drive. the things you do on a daily basis show you have more drive than most people could ever dream of. i'm thinking 2:59:58 at 25.3 :D

thanks friends!! Smooth- maybe just one. If that goes well, I will stop at two. Off to sleep a dreamy 8 hours. I got the night off. I figured I deserved the time to rest before the descent!! I will be running, 4, then 3 then 2 then 0 miles on Friday.
