Thursday night was interval workout: warm-up, 2 X 20 minutes at 5K pace (varied from about 6:45 per mile to 7:30 per mile) with 5 minute recovery, then cool-down.

Yesterday I did 22 miles at a little more than MRP b/c I was running with Team in Training (I missed my regular Sat morning run), and they do 9:1 run/walk intervals. Just want to say, "Ow."

This was the final interval workout - 40 minutes at 5K pace, with a warm-up and cool-down. Kept the pace between 7:00-7:15 minutes per mile, but I pushed the last mile a little and was just under 7:00! Follow me on Instagram @runningboardgamer Awesome avatar by Mauve Shirt!

About 7 miles yesterday at over MRP, due to not knowing the area and mud/wet conditions. Today I did 12 miles well under MRP - I stayed on roads and sidewalks and ran along the Seattle waterfront, so it was much easier. Beautiful, too!

So if anyone would like to see how I am doing during the Honda LA Marathon on Sunday, you can sign up to receive texts or (I think) emails that will track where I am on the course. As I pass certain points (I think it's at 10K, 20, 30, and then the finish), texts will be sent out to those who register at the following site:

www.lamarathon.com/runner-info/race-day-tracking/

Several people "followed" me last year, and it was really motivating!
