Medium Run
8.0 mi - 1:09:01/8:37 pace/147 BPM

Stayed up late the night before for a fantasy draft, so sleep was poor, plus I was probably still fatigued from Monday's run - this was supposed to be 14 miles, but I was dragging, so I cut it down to 8.

Recovery
6.0 mi - 57:42/9:37 pace/128 HR

Doing these recovery runs on a dirt/gravel trail by my house; hopefully will end up being helpful for overall wear and tear, plus a different bit of scenery.

Marathon Pace
3.0 mi - 25:04.3/8:22 pace/138 HR
12.0 mi - 1:31:00.5/7:35 pace/167 HR
0.47 mi - 3:55.6/8:26 pace/160 HR

Pretty happy with this; I missed the first two marathon pace workouts in this plan because I was doing that mini speed block instead, so being able to hold sub-3:20:00 marathon pace (~7:38/mi) for 12 miles was pretty nice. I also set a new half marathon PR at 1:40:08 which, while nice, is annoying that it's over 1:40:00. I have an actual race in a month where hopefully I can do a bit better than this. Cooldown was supposed to be a full mile, but I cut it at two hours flat because I was tired.

Still fine enough; I'm not really lifting super hard, but given the running volume and gradual weight loss (186 this morning), maintaining is probably ok.

what's the lightest you've been over the last few years?

This is it; I walked around at 215-225 from the time I got back into lifting after college, and I pretty much maintained that until I cut down in 2013 to very sickly looking 186-ish (spurred by losing a ton of weight after a bad norovirus bout). I'm definitely "healthier" (whatever that means) now; might try and lose another pound or three before the marathon, but I'm not going to sweat it too hard outside of trying to keep the diet under control.

0.5 mi_5 - 3:15.4/6:31 pace/174 HR
2.0 mi - 17:55.8/8:57 pace/154 HR

Legs felt heavy today, so this didn't go extraordinarily well; I was targeting 6:25/mi pace, so I kind of got there but it was a grind. Walked during almost all of the recoveries (2:30), which I needed more for my legs than for my HR to come back down. Looking forward to a light day tomorrow.

Went on a rafting trip in West Virginia this weekend, so pushed my Sunday run to today; ran the first half with a buddy at around an 8:41 pace, then picked it up for the last 6.5 miles or so. I felt decent enough.
