Sunset of Summer

Summer is heading to a close and i'm in the midst of closing out my 3rd week of training.  I managed a good week last week - did the 5x800s last Sunday - at about a 6:20 pace (3:10).  I did 7.3 miles last Thursday and did 8.2 miles today.  Still seems short - but that's all this race is calling for.  Ideally I'll do either some mile repeats or some on track ladder tomorrow - but I may skip one of the interval sessions next week (labor day week is always a little difficult).  Today's 8 has left me sore.  The heel continues to hurt for the first mile or so, and now I feel good sore.  Not perfect - but once fall weather hits - hopefully I can start killing it.
