I slept in until about 6:40 am and that made me feel pretty lazy. But since I only had 15 miles on the schedule, I figured I could indulge.

For this run, I traveled the same route as my Wednesday workout, out to the footbridge at Parley's canyon and back. After the turnaround, I did some progression miles, picking up the pace from 7min, to 6:45, to 6:30.  This generally felt pretty good. It was nice to feel my legs turning over, but I'm to that point now where I have no idea how I am possibly going to run as fast as I plan to run in the marathon. Oh well, as they say, the hay is in the barn.

Ditto. 26 miles at a pace I can sometimes not do for 1 mile in a speed workout? Crazy.

First paragraph, second sentence...um, are we looking at sarcasm here, or what?
