Last long run (12 miles) completed last night at 7:15/mile. It's fast for me, but it felt easy after the rest day on Tuesday. I stopped for a drink once at mile 8, and I also dropped off my HRM (didn't work - I think the battery is out), and my MP3 player (finished podcasts), so I lost about 45 seconds there. I count that off for my average pace.

Now I'm in the finish line of training. Here is the strict plan for the rest of the cycle:

10/16 Thu: 8 miles easy.
10/17 Fri: 8 miles easy.
10/18 Sat: Track workout: 3 x 2000 meters at 6/mile; a bit slower is acceptable.
10/19 Sun: 9 miles long.
10/20 Mon: 7 miles long.
10/21 Tue: 6 miles easy.
10/22 Wed: 5 miles easy.
10/23 Thu: Rest day.
10/24 Fri: 3-4 miles very easy.
10/25 Sat: Race.
