Started with 3 easy miles and felt yucky.  The plan says to run a tune up race but I just ran a 4 mile tempo run instead.  First mile was slow (6:32) but then got into a groove and ran the rest in 6:24, 6:24 and 6:19.  The last 3 felt decent although my chest is feeling a little heavy.

Nice run. I'm so impressed with how you dedicated you are to the tried an true plan.

How do you do that when you feel kinda yucky?

You are completely crazy and incredibly amazing!!! :)

When's lunch?

Smooth - Ripped?? Ha ha. You are very funny.

Paul - I'm actually not very dedicated to the plan. I use it as a general guide but do not stick to it as close as I probably should.

Teena - I know that once I get going my body will respond so I try to ignore how I feel during the first couple of miles. I'm always available for lunch.

Good job Andy, you're just getting to the end of a tough training cycle. It's normal to be tired right now. After your taper you'll be fresh and ready for a great race.
