10 miles this morning on Ryan's loop.  It was slightly chilly--I could have used gloves for the first 10-15 minutes.

7 miles on the hotel treadmill.  I kept the pace easy for the first 5 miles, then mixed in 4x400m 'strides,' each a bit faster than the previous one (5:50 pace, 5:40, 5:30, and 5:10 for the final one).  It felt fast on my legs (but heck, 8:00/pace feels fast to me on the treadmill) but easy on my lungs.  Feeling good.

6 miles, again on the treadmill.  I didn't pack accordingly for the cold here in Pendleton, thus the treadmill.  It's a good 10-12 degrees cooler here than Portland.

I've got to say--I'm loving being able to sleep in until 6:30 and still run before work.  That beats getting up @ 5:30 to run 10-13 miles each day.  Anyway, 5 miles on Ryan's loop.  Finished the run with strides.

No running today.  Just a reflection on the past 16 weeks, as well as my past marathons:

I've ran more this time around, but not by as much as I thought.  I don't follow any plan, but perhaps I should?  I've ran more doubles, more days with 20+ miles, as well as more 20+ mile runs on Saturday's.  Lastly, I've shortened my taper this time around.  Hopefully all these things add up to a good race.  We'll see...
