Sat
60 min HILLS run
Can run all @ near Z2 if you can sustain. Don't kill yourself but put in an effort.   This is for practicing pacing in the hills. If you stop to walk keep the GPS running.  You will walk in Chattanooga so this is practice. Your  run pace will most likely be slower race day but this still similutes pacing.

Started late and got about 6 minutes in and felt awful due to a late dinner.  :(

Results: 8 miles in 1:17:35. 9:41 pace.  
*The first 30 minutes were fine. Was closer to 9:00 pace. On the main workout the first set was fine and I found the last two to were harder to get to. I believe the first 30 minutes wore me out a bit before the workout (that sounds pathetic I'm sure). The last Z1 after the workout was ugly. Pace slowed down a good bit.  :/ This happened last week as well???  I was hoping to be able to get close to 8.5 miles in 75 minutes, but that sure didn't happen.
