9/9
6 miles- recovery

Beautiful and sunny morning in Anchorage.  I'd love this weather on Saturday in Fairbanks.  Kept it easy and felt really good.  Rest is key this next week.

9/8
13 miles

Ran my Boston prep route today.  It was pretty cold in the morning but the sun was out!  Beautiful morning.  Started out easy but was running 6:10 pace early and it felt easy.  Just need to rest and eat healthy to be ready for Equinox!!!

9/7
6 miles- recovery

Very easy pace this morning.  Gonna get to the starting line feeling good!

9/6
10 miles ( 3 x 1 mile @ 5K pace w/ 2 min. rest)

Sunny out today, but windy.  I ran my mile intervals between Huffman and Dearmoun to get some hills included.  I had a pretty good head wind on 2 of my 3 mile repeats.  Here it is:

3 mile warm-up
3 x 1 mile (5:04, 5:03, 4:58)- 2 min. rest between
1 mile easy
1 mile @ MP (5:30)- obviously too fast, but felt easy.
2 miles easy

9/5
6 miles- recovery

Ran to Huffman and back this morning.  School was cancelled today because of crazy wind storm last night.  We had gusts up to 130mph.  Lots of trees down and fences.  Looks like a war zone outside.  Felt good running today.

9/4
10 miles (8 x 100m striders)

Just a General Aerobic pace run with some striders at the end.  The wind and rain started picking up during the run, but it felt great to be out in it!  I averaged 6:30 pace and it felt so easy.  Love being on top of this wave right now.

9/3
6 miles- recovery

Spent the day at a friends cabin and ate way too much.  Nice and easy recovery pace when I got home.  Going to try and focus on eating healthy and sleep the next 2 weeks before the race.  Got to get to the starting line feeling good!
