Big marathon benchmark workout.  15 x 1k with 60 seconds recovery.  Goal was 6:00 mile pace, so 3:45.  Becca was running with me.  The pace was a little  tough for her, so we took 2 minutes after every 5.  3:46,3:44.8, 3:43.7, 3:44.1,3:45.7, and then my watch stopped recording splits.  3:42-3:45 for the next five.  3:42-3:44 for the next four.  3:39 on the last one.  Dang.  I wish I had all my splits.  

This workout was a grind it out type workout.  Perfect for marathon  prep.  Last time I ran this workout (2 years ago.) I stopped at 12.  It was great to bust through the mental barrier.  It's  a great confidence booster.   Even more so because we were cheerleader dodging for much of the workout.  

Not much cooldown.   I  needed to get home.  I may attempt a shakeout tonight.
