(This is the second week of a 16-week marathon training program, so "week -15".)
7.00 miles Garmin link
54:53
7:50 pace
This run was supposed to be an easy mile at the beginning and end, with 5 miles @ 8:00 in the middle. Chris ran too, and we easily exceeded that goal - Chris even suggested putting on the gas for mile 6, which we did in 7:12.
Very glad we went in the morning. It was already 70 degrees and 89% humidity. Felt good to finish! I hope it isn't this humid for the long run on Saturday - that tends to take the starch out of me.

I think this is a great training schedule that you're doing. Not only do I think it will improve your speed but I believe you're less likely to have injuries.
Good luck on your long run. Your dad is off for a bike ride from Sandpoint to Troy, MT, with a friend. They've planned it for months and your dad has been doing long rides to prepare.
Not that I'm such a great exerciser, but I surely find a world of difference in my energy level if I get out while its cool. It's better for the dog, too.
Dad, I agree - can already see that with the speed work and more varied paces that I am getting better workouts than in the past.
Kathy, cooler exercise weather agrees with me, too. I found to my surprise over the winter that it was perfectly comfortable doing long runs with the weather in the low 20s. Looking forward to hearing about Dad's bike trip!
