So I had disturbing dreams last night. I woke-up very tense because in my dream I had to bike Lotoja (Logan to Jackson 200 mile bike race) before I ran the marathon... don't know why but I was very upset that I would have to do it. I remember thinking I have not trained and it was going to be too hard. Do you think I might be a bit worried about the marathon?? I do. 

So my run tonight felt pretty good. After the turnaround at about 3 1/2 miles I tried some 1 minute fast 1 minutes slower paces. The fast I tried to keep at 7:40 - 8:00, then the slower paces was about 9:00. I did this about  6 times. I should try to be more technical with my runs, but I'm not certain how to program my garmin for this type of run. I'll have to read up on that.

Oh, the marathon nightmares! I know how that feels. The worst one I ever got was the one in which I had to run through people's houses and crawl up their chimneys. (Freudian "trial by fire?") Another awesome list of splits for you. Nice run!

Sno, that is histetical!! Dreams are so weird. Sometimes I have to really think when I wake from dreams like this one, I was so certain that I was going to have to bike that race, it took me a while to realise it was just a dream. I would hate to climb up chimneys :)
