Fairly easy 7 miler today.  Was pleased that I didn't have any soreness today.  Legs felt a bit dead but no soreness to speak of.  Going to just try and be consistent this week with nothing too crazy.

First 5 miles with Meg at 8:30 pace and the last two miles at marathon pace.  Temp got really cool this morning with a bit of wind too.  It was 72 degrees and I was feeling kinda chilly, it's amazing what you get used to.

8 miles today, some a little faster and some a little slower, nothing out of the ordinary.  Temp was 75 and it felt pretty good.

Did a progression run today where each mile gets progressively faster.  Didn't start the run intending to do this but after the first 3 miles decided to go for it.  First mile was in 8:30 and last mile was 7:10.  Not blazing speed but still a good workout.  Legs felt good today, maybe a good nights sleep had something to do with it.

Nice moderate run today.  Great morning weather with light breeze and 73.  Hope it holds for tomorrows last long run.  Legs felt pretty good even after yesterdays slightly faster then normal run.  Going to try going a few days without the ibuprofen to gauge the pain level.  I would prefer to run the marathon without any pain meds, that is why I am doing the test.  I feel recovered enough to go without, but until I actually do it's hard to tell for sure.

Pretty good quality run today although I wasn't able to do it without the pain meds as I had hoped.  About noon on Friday I could tell I still needed to be taking the Ibuprofen for continued inflamation in my back and other areas.  So I ran on drugs today and felt pretty good the whole way.  From mile 7-12 I ran 7:28/mile or better and then mile 16 I picked it up to the finish and came in with 7:06.  During the first six miles Meg and I added some hills both up and down over our usual over pass route.  So I got a run with a little bit of everything and feel pretty good about it.  Now it's time to start reducing the mileage and make it through the rest of the taper.
