LAST 100

Now I know coach Leach is not a big fan of the taper... but this last 100 mile week is lasting too long.

Attempted a 10 mile LT but I was derailed by the D word. It rhymes with gonorrhea, but its much worse from a running stand point.

So after 8 miles (including a serious slow down on the last one) I headed for a public rest room, end of the line.

The first 3 miles were on a slight uphill, battling 20 mph head winds. Of course the next 5 were with a tail wind...

6:41
6:33
6:34
6:10
5:41
5:42
5:50
5:55

That 5:55 I felt pretty sick. I think I could have kept a solid 5:45 pace for a few more if disaster had not struck. oh well, I still feel pretty fit.
