3 miles @ 8:45, 3X1600m @ 6:40, 6:40, 6:38, 2 miles @ 8:45
Great run. Intervals seemed easy in spite of the rain. I had an easier time keeping pace constant and not going all out as compared to my previous marathon cycle.

Friday, 7/3/09
RUN: 13 miles @ 8:23 (was supposed to be 8:30), and .5 mile cool down = 13.5m
Tougher than I thought. Legs in pain - probably since last 13 miler was over 1 month ago. I pushed the pace during last mile. Negative splits (average pace 1/2 way was 8:29). Much harder to do these long runs alone, but probably better practice for the marathon.
