Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
2.00	14.50	16.50

great run with clyde. I might need to adjust what i am calling a "slow mile" and a "fast mile" as my pace keeps improving! 6 of the miles today were under 7 minutes per mile, that is a good hard run for me. I have never trained this hard for a marathon (this will be my fourth) and I am excited for race day.

I am agonizing over whether I should go for sub 3 hours or play it safe and try to qualify for boston at 3:15.

Maybe I will try a longer run at 3 hour pace and see how I hold up.

I run harder with Clyde pacing me, but i feel bad that it's so easy for him. Oh well.

Don't feel bad for Clyde I'm sure he enjoys the company no matter the pace. We are thinking about doing a 20 miler down the marathon course this Saturday. We usually take it easy the first 10, then speed up a little on the second 10. Don't know who will all be around, but usually we have in our group Clyde, Steve Hooper, Bill, James Holt and myself.

I think Clyde and Logan might be helping to pace Bill Campbell to a sub three so if you're feeling good you could go with them on race day. I also have a friend on the blog named Steve Piccolo that is looking for a sub 3:10 he would be a good guy to run with also.

I am in the same state. I am going to have join the group of people trying to break 3 at SGM. Good workout and it is easier to run faster with someone else.
