Tempo felt pretty good although concerns me a bit. I held a 8:13 pace for the 6 mile duration and found it challenging at times. 8:15-8:20 is my marathon pace. I'm not sure how the hell I'm going to pull that off for 26.2 miles. I hope taper will pull a miracle out of my tail

I'm sure you'll find a way to hold pace. Plus, now that running is back in the priority lane, things will quickly accellerate.
'Afternoon delight'...nice.
Hey Kat - I saw that you have trouble with insomnia / restless legs post work out... and followed the links to your blog.
I use an energy bar that helps speed muscle recovery because the carbs convert so slowly, they last up to 9 hours... Originally it was made for people with diabetes, but I think it may help you post work out. If you eat one before you work out, you'll feel a little baseline energy for about 8 hours -- and your muscles will thank you.
My dad has restless legs, its tough to deal with and goes hand in hand with insomnia. Keeping your muscles / body well fed can help. You could e-mail me and I'll send you a free bar in the mail... jon@forallhumanity.org
Take it easy,

Okay your workout posted here today makes the one I'm facing today look easy :). Awesome job I just started swimming and can't even imagine putting up those kind of numbers.
