November 30 - December 2, 2011

11/30/2011 - I ran the last workout on track.  The plan was run 3x2-miler at 13m'40s', 13m'30s', & 13m'20s' with 3 minutes break in between.  I hit split every 800s and I ran -

One miles warm up at 9m'01s' 
   [3m'05.01s', 3m'16.35s', 3m'09.37s', 3m'00.53s'] = 12m'31.26s'
   [3m'06.79s', 3m'07.07s', 3m'01.20s', 3m'04.40s'] = 12m'18.92s'
   [3m'00.40s', 3m'04.27s', 3m'03.64s', 3m'01.43s'] = 12m'09.74s'
One miles warm down at 10m'01s' 

I logged eight miles for the day with 56m'03s'.

12/01/2011 - I was a bit sore from Wednesday night track work and I been running six days in the row; probably not a very good idea since I am tapering for marathon.  Therefore, I decided to run the exactly same route as 11/29, which ran mostly on grass from White House and loop around Tidal Basin; thanks to Tree Lighting ceremony, every point of entry for grass running was block.  I ended up running 50/50 between grass and road.  I finished the run with a time of 32:55 approx. 4.6 miles.


12/02/2011 - I think I am taking a day off from running; it would be great idea to be off, since running for seven days straight with tapering for marathon. 



Then I’m going to run easy on Saturday morning and run about 10 miles “long” from Riley Lock.  Tucson marathon will be here before I know it...
