Well I guess it's actually 8 days today till race day (i.e., a week tomorrow). yesterday I was going by the countdown timer which today says 7 days and a bit. Did 17.3 miles today at 8:49 pace. It was very blustery and the temperature was probably just above freezing. It was sunny though. Did an initial short 4 mile loop and then did 13 miles. I was hoping to do the last mile or two at a marathon pace effort, but just didn't have it in me. Probably for the best.
So the original plan for this upcoming week goes out the window since I have to work in a bit of a taper and a marathon distance on the following Monday. The way I see it, I will probably do as follows:
Monday: rest
Tuesday: 9 miles GA
Wednesday: 4 miles Recovery
Thursday: 8 Miles including 2@ LT pace.
Friday: Rest (travel day)
Saturday: 5 Miles Recovery/Some strides
Sunday: 2 Miles Recovery
Monday: 26.2 miles
