Starting to feel refreshed and energetic. Steady 8 this morning w/ Jordan and Holly is gonna be it for the day. Looks like I will be alright taper-wise. I think it's gonna work for me as long as I can keep the nerves under control. I missed the substitute teacher orientation as I mistakenly thought it was today so the next one is January 31. At this point I'm stymied but I'll get after it post-marathon.
I hit the track this morning for some work. It was another nice morning but I can't imagine the humidity abating for long. Jordan and Meagan had matching workouts of 4-8-12-16-16-12-8-4 w/ 60 second rest. The paces prescribed were quick and I didn't run great but I tried to hang with Jordan on the middle reps. I should hopefully be able to substantially improve on my efforts this morning and maybe feel better doing it. I did something like a 200-500-1100-800-1600-1200-600-200, I wasn't happy with missing out on the first 1600 but I had to break for the restroom and I at least touched on some faster paces on the other reps. The recovery made it a pretty honest effort and I at least was able to sneak below 5:00 pace. My goal for the summer is breaking 15:00 so we'll see what happens.
