Very cook Bikechic!!!! Congrats on your marathon. Sounds like you had a great time. We had friends that ran the Goofy Challenge this year too (one of them averaged under 6 min/miles for both---INSANE). I've heard mixed reviews of the Disney Marathon so I am curious about your experience with it. DH and I have it on our bucket list.

Crappy run this morning. Legs sore from layoff when I was sick and then doing first run back on Monday, still kind of congested so couldn't breath. Hot & humid. Still, no breeze. Ran two miles with legs like lead, walked one mile, then ran the last mile back.
Why does running always feel like two steps forward, one step back? So different from cycling!Emily

I did the bridge loop, 7.6 miles at an overall 9:17 pace, threw in some fartlek for the last mile or so. It rained on and off, but not enough to make my shoes soggy, just enough to be comfortable. Good run.

I have a question about Yasso 800s - who does them?
This is a new workout for me. I know Yasso himself says start with four and work up to 10. But just this week I did four mile repeats at about 0:15/mile slower than my target Yasso 800 pace. So should I still start with four half miles? Some number between four and eight? Or just do as many as I can maintain the pace, my first time around?
(Don't worry, not doing them today.
In fact I get the day off today ... Santa Claus brought me a spa day. )

The snow has largely been staying away, but it's due to arrive in force this afternoon. So instead of taking a planned rest day today, I got out for a windy 5 mile tempo run. It was slower than usual for a tempo run, due to the wind. And it seems that I've worn a small hole in one toe in my vffs-- found it thanks to a small puddle...
