12.06 miles easy.  I met up with Bret and Bryant at the 21st Street Pond in Ogden.  It was nice to sleep in a bit later and get the entire run done without a headlamp!  We just ran around downtown and West Ogden at a leisurely pace.

AEROBIC BUILDER

This was my last scheduled aerobic builder before the marathon next weekend.  My goal this week is to keep overall volume relatively high and keep "hard workout" paces the same, but to cut the volume of the hard workouts.  So today instead of 8 miles fast I cut it down to 6 miles.  I did the run with Bryant and Hales and was grateful for the company.  We ended up with a 5:20 average for the 6 miles.

6 miles easy around South Weber.  I got up kind of late and had to be to a conference early, so only 6 this morning.  I will see if I can find time to get in a few more miles this evening.

12 miles easy for the day.  It was a pretty busy day, but I managed to get in some decent miles (as opposed to yesterday).

LIGHT WORKOUT

This is my last workout before the marathon.  I will do a mile or two at goal marathon pace next week but everything else will be just easy miles.  I wanted to get in a decent effort today, but not overdo anything.  The goal today was maintain fitness, not improve fitness.  I ended up doing 2 by 2-miles at 10:10 and 2 by 0.5 miles at 2:20.  I jogged a mile after each 2-mile rep and then rested 2 minutes in between the 0.5 miles reps.
