TM: 1 mile warm up, 3 at 5:45, 4 at 5:30 and 1 at 5:05. I was planning to just run around 6's to not aggravate the hamstring. Then I thought 5:30 was ok and I couldn't resist one faster mile at the end. Felt pretty good for a Tuesday after shoveling for a couple of hours in the last couple of days. Can't wait to shovel more tonight. 4 of the top 5 in the Dubai marathon are Ethiopians and I think 3 of them were making their marathon debut.
